That's why I am busy contemplating the Bike Company Stimulus Act 2.0, where I buy either a TT bike or a powertap. That should set them straight.

are you down becaue the markets fell esterday or are you talking about business?

hey pcad

things are so slow, i'm looking outside at the excellent weather and thinking i need to take advantage before it changes as it always does. Do i go out at 3 oclock and ride or carry on banging my head against a wall?

Both, but business here does suck. Better than last year so far, but last year was a melt down.

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.:o

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.
