I came up on the accident very quickly after it happened, but I'm not sure what happened. I saw no car. I think I got there quick enough that I would have seen a car speeding off, but you never know. I never heard confirmation one way or another. Either way, that's National Park Service land, and they had 6 cop cars there within 5 minutes. I don't think all those extra cops appreciated having to respond to a bike accident before 7am when they could have been sipping coffee and resting, which is why the crackdown is going on.

Friday is my only rest day actually, and I was at happy hour tonight, so no can do.

Watch your CC bill.... also, I think you have to call to cancel, so make sure you call a few days ahead if you don't want to buy another $40 worth at full price.

I'll say this. Single speed does have its disadvantages, but for me, it makes me take better lines, and keep as much momentum as I can, which in turn makes me a better rider. When I would ride a mountain bike with gears I was more worried about what gear I needed to be in rather than taking good lines. Learning to take good lines on the single speed crosses over to a geared mountain bike, so it makes me faster overall. It's not for everyone but I like it.

It says risk free and nothing about another order, I don't think that I will have to buy more even if I don't cancel.
...Right?

More importantly, the Cubs beat the Phillies 12-6. We're undefeated since the All Star break.
