Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

sikana - cuz their webpage is kinda messed up. i got a 404 when i clicked on "museum".

edit: apparently the national yo yo museum is in the back of a toystore. somehow I expected something a bit more grand.

well you are smarter than me for actually calling the train people. bad idea to show up in the middle of the night to not get on the train.

i thought of something fun to do... "borrow" a pedicab bike and pick up some drunk bro, then drive into an orchard and drop him off. remember to get paid before dropping him off.

or i think madison bear garden has trike races on wednesday nights, if you feel like riding a bike but not ditching drunk guys in the middle of no where.

I went a few weeks ago to do some white water rafting on the feather river. Beer and white water rafting do not mix fyi.

Ive been to chico many times, its boring, lots of eye candy... BUt its all bros and bro ho's, and white gangsters who grew up in sunshine court, or orange poppy lane.

as far as breakfast, there's a grateful dead-themed restaurant downtown that serves really, really, really good brunch. the place is all done up in '80s deadhead decor, and there's usually a house band (with synthesizer and didgeridoo) playing. i'm not kidding, and neither are they. check it out.

i swear to god man, i had a couple that came in pint glasses. I guess I've grown to expect tiny expensive drinks.

The bar was terrible otherwise, tho the people watching was good. One more day, one more day...
