Today I ... started a rather lengthy process of putting away money so I can move in the next year or two.. hopefully to a place that's more bicycle friendly, among other "important" things..

Bought the most dangerous bike I've ever owned for $50.

Nice knowing you all.

Angle grinders are cheap, effective and there is a lot to be said for recycling metal :D

Yeah I'm hoping it's a helmet-head-proof cut too. Not a garlic necklace (lol), a lei.

Thanks. Took me a while to get used to having short hair after I shaved it last year, but now i love it.

Today I have my first showing of my house since it's been on the market (since Monday). Cleaning cleaning cleaning and strangely nervous.

Today the $12 kmc d101 ebay chain came in. Even with my wheel slammed in the drop outs its to short for my ratio (48x16). Just barely to maybe a half link would work. would i have any problems doing that?

That's why I didn't order one.

96 links? My 710SL was 114, and I didn't remember cutting 20 links off...

I quickly read the listing at work and bought it without reading it twice. I bought it thinking it was only missing the manual box and master link only.

today it's 70deg and sunny out

but wteff body y u no want me to ride bike

If it seems too good to be true...

Today I packed up and came home from school, unloaded the van, and then immediately put on a kit and hammered out 40 miles in the wind. Haven't unpacked a single bag or box yet. And the best part was when I pulled up in the driveway to the smell of tacos for dinner. Hella rad.

Had a conversation with my dad on the way home, too, about what we wear while riding. He asked if I wear anything under my bibs, and when I said no, he got all weirded out. Any of you guys have an under-bib/short garment?

Did 30ish miles, ran into a group of folks riding in support of bike lanes on the way home so I tagged along on my way to the grocery store. Beer currently cooling in fridge.

And no, only nerds wear stuff under bibs.

I learned my lesson smh lol.

Scrod do you think any of the kmc masterlinks on ebay will work with the d101? the chain would fit if i had that masterlink!!!!

+1, defeats the purpose

Thats exactly what I said, and thought it was the dumbest idea.

Feel free to call your dad an idiot.

Today I rode a fixed metric with some MuffinMan and a few others. Was good times.

Is it bad that I'm actually kinda tired from that?

I was tired the whole time.

Base layers for the upper body when it's cold out is ok.

Today I had my best road ride in awhile.

Come up north for the winter, your tone will change...

Haha, had enough of that growing up in Philly. I'll keep enjoying my sunshine for a bit longer.

But you a actually biked this week.

Actually I wear a base layer when it's hot. It keeps you a bit cooler.

Is that science? I was never good at science.
