Who wants to clean the blood off of my bike? I had the choice of getting run over or running of a freshly squished squirrel, I picked the squirrel.

I did get my free bike to work day T-shirt and bottle.

What the hell. I didn't get any of that schwag at freedom plaza this year.

It's an ugly yellow color, but still cool. I went to City Hall in Alexandria. It was packed. My first bike to work day, even though I do errrry day.

No bike to work for me. I'm affraid to attempt riding my bike up the stairs from my bedroom to my office.

Hey Pcad,

How many Pcad HTFU Points™ do I get for my harrowing experience of being hit by a crazed driver?

How come you're not dead or in the hospital?

Thanks to a powerful burst of acceleration I (almost) cleared the car's path.

you know all those goals i let in? i nearly got to every one of them.

So after you were 'hit by a crazed driver' what was the damage to your Gomer self and your Gomer bicycle?

Accident thread.

No damage to me (other than stress); hopefully just minimal wheel damage to bike.

Well, it's a good thing you're not dead, I need a target for my Gomer Tirades ya'll.

What happens if I put everyone on ignore?

Do it.

Wrenching before work - probably not a good idea.
Wrenching the bike that you ride to work, before work - definitely not a good idea.
No creaky-creaky in the BB when you mash on it - worth being a little late.

Got a receipt from Amazon for "Training with a Powermeter".... this was my wife's formerly secret way to telling me it was ok to get a powermeter for my B-day.

Happy Birthday Me!!!

I just finished reviving a nice old trek for my friend. The threaded headset installation was the worst bit, but it worked none the less. Block of wood and a hammer, after snugging it in a bit by just tightening the lock nut on the headset.

It rode nice, so we went for a short night ride. I rode his 35 pound bridgestone, and although I felt it on the hills, it was really pleasant to ride.

I just ate too much.

I left my pump in the car, which is gone for the night, and have a ride first thing in the morning. Do I ditch the ride or go and hope I don't flat? Note that I double flatted last Saturday and had to call for an evac home, so I don't think that would go over so well if I had to do it again.

Why didn't anyone tell me you can play Pac-Man at Google?!?

You got your share of flats, ride on.

DAMN! You found out? We were hoping to keep you in the dark...

How is that different from any other Gomer day?

Usually I don't embark on eating a plate of spaghetti after I've already started to feel full.

go to bed - you have that ride, remember?
