Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Brace Yourselves, 41...

My wife's office just got rid of some of their older display units, so she brought home an Aeron chair to place in front of my computer. This should give me more endurance while posting on BF.

My living room is quite a mess lately. The truing stand is sitting next to the keyboard which has some professional paperwork for me to fill out. Just refer to caad 8's picture for reference. The only exception is we didn't get any arms with ours. She said she can order them if I want them, but I imagine the arms alone cost more than the entire task chair I had been using up until no.

I'm trying to figure out what type of drugs you could make/do with a truing stand and a tensionmeter. Since you're from Topanga Canyon, you could probably explain it to me

Yeah, I know my chair to desk drop is not set up for optimum aerodynamics. Maybe I could post twice as fast if it was.

Sure. Well, for starters it looks like you have a scale, plus scoops. Maybe you're more on the dealing end. Right?

What a mess... You should ride more often so that you don't have time to make a mess on that desk.

Aeron sucks. You basically got the 'biopace chainring' of chairs.

Steelcase Leap is the new hotness.

If you're just gonna sit at home and play around on BF, then I'll pester you until you come to rides like Wolfpack and get some work done.
