Second of all - You shouldn't ride with a hat covering your eyes. You're already riding with no brakes..now you wanna limit your field of vision? Safety first!

I'm down, but we'll be rolling home slowwwwly. The sandwich that I can't always finish is a rare creature, but I often find it there.
(Thanks for the WB tip; I should take this out of my signature. I'm going to some dude's house this afternoon to check out a Sturmey-Archer 3-speed/coaster brake wheel, so this bike might well be better than it was before.) |
Taqueria la Oaxaquena VS. Chavas Tacos
TORTA BATTLE 2006 |
...brought to you by the Orphans Cycling Collective.
I was thinking that a great alleycat could be arranged around this, but they're only four miles apart. |

</rant> Anyway, I typically fist-pump to fellow riders but my gesture has only been returned once. And it's mostly from the Mexicans riding their k-mart mountain bikes. |

TORTA BATTLE 2006 Combination eating contest and alleycat. Shuttle back and forth between the two torta joints, stopping only when the limits of your gastronomic fortitude have been reached. Torta Total x Miles = Final ****** Score. |

+1 to hybrids with panniers.
+1 to waving at the chicks on fixies, they were out with a vengeance on sunday. |
i rode my bike to the dog park last summer to meet my wife and dogs, and the guy that always has a scowl on his face (not unfriendly, just aloof) and the big white german shephard - says "back when i rode, only the best riders had track bikes" - so I think I scored points with him...even if he looks as if he hasn't touched a bike in 30 years.
I always wave... |

What is this "snow" and "cold" of which you all speak?

word to the cowboy nod. I try not to scowl, but I'm usually in enough of a hurry to not pay attention to my face.
Yesterday (as with most wednesdays) I spent most of the morning with a big smile on my face and a song or dozen floating through my head. I love Wednesdays. |
