Today I was about to enjoy a nice leisurely ride home from work in awesome (if not a bit windy) weather. Halfway through, got a phone call from my kid's daycare saying that he faceplanted off a jungle gym, then hopped on the nearest subway to go get him. Kid's alright, just a little scratched up. He's a couple months shy of his 2nd birthday so he's entering that indestructible phase.
Also missed USPS delivery of townie bars/brake levers so now i have to leave work early tomorrow to go to the worst post office in Queens to pick 'em up.

Had a weld ember shoot off and burn through my pants/boxers and onto ol' lefty, realized how much I hate people who own audi's and then got off work and had a cop follow me after I took a nonstopping right hand turn at a 4 way stop but ducked out luckily downloaded Strava to check it out then biked Mt Tabor a couple times only to notice my phone sucks and GPS won't work through the trees so all that effort was wasted now I can't share it on Facebook.
Overall a pretty productive day and I did get some props from roadies when biking up Tabor though.

And the nipples are Sapim Polyax. Doesn't work on 12 or 14mm brass, but works on Alloy Sapims.

AHAHAHAH, I have it bad here since its a college campus with a ton of foreign students, most of them yet to know that you bike with traffic on the right hand side of the road, which almost lead me into an accident earlier this year when some guy was going agaisnt traffic and i couldnt go further into the lane because a car pulled out of the parking lot.

But they're all supposed to be the same size, regardless of the material. Still kinda weird.

Today i finally replaced my cheap silver lock ring with a black cane creek one.
I also realized after living in LA for 6 months that I don't think this is the city for me. It is a really cool city to live in and lots of cool things to do and great food to eat but idk I just don't feel like its home. Sticking around until the end of the year then I will probably move somewhere else.

Today I fitted drop bars on my bike for the first time. Took it for a spin up to the shops to get some sushi before I went to the gym. I'll chuck some pics up tomorrow, I think she looks much prettier. Also playing around with my spacers so I can work out where I should cut my steerer.

I broke my second spoke in less than a hundred miles this morning. Within 1/4 mile of where I broke one last week. Cheap friggin' spokes can't even take some torque from pedaling. The spare wheel is going in the trash soon.
Can't wait to get my primary wheel back from LBS hell. It's only been over a month since I lost custody. This weekend it gets freed! I'm thinking about throwing it a welcome home party.
I saw a girl sitting on a bike, stopped on the side of a MUP that runs along the Charles River in Boston, she was trying to coax a goose over to her, I debated telling her that they're usually mean and do bite, but it didn't seem like the goose was remotely interested in going near her. Silly people.
ftfy.

last night i saw a Retrogression sticker in the bathroom at Bar Pink in N Park SD.
im guessing it was either a spectator or participant from the track, which is close by (also where I was previous to the bar w friendz)
