Today I tested out my self-waterproofed jacket in a light rain. Worked well enough. I'm dry.

What'd you use to do it?

How are you gonna win that one? Wasn't it part of a crackdown on cyclists? Good luck.

BTW, what will the court costs run you to fight it?

Trial by written declaration. No court costs, and I'm more likely to win it this way.

The cop also made some errors on my ticket and I can use them to my advantage.

You're lucky man. Those errors are basically your way right out of it.

Today this was published in the school paper:

If he did even the slightest bit of research he would've known that riding on the sidewalk is more than 20x more dangerous than riding on a street without bike lanes (source: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...walk-bicycling) . Not to mention, Spokane (where this was published) has several arterial roads that don't allow bicycles - hence some cyclists having to merge up to the sidewalk occasionally.

At least Ashley Antunes did a hell of a job on that illustration.

Today I got a second job interview at the tacobell / carls Jr on campus. Bike partsssssss...

damn, you need two interviews to get a job at ****ing taco bell? it's tough out there

Haha, yo I was the same way. I got a call and got interviewed on campus. And lady was like "Ok sounds like I'll give you an interview at carls jr and taco bell."

fuuuuuu

How do you even work those registers. Never worked fast food or much of retail.

So who here rides on the sidewalk? Nobody.

I can't recall ever seeing anyone over the age of 5 doing it, in fact.

Exactly, ever since the author was a kid he was told to ride on the sidewalk, that **** is universal knowledge.

I ride on the sidewalk sometimes actually. There are some places in Seattle where it is necessary, unless you like to risk a cheese grater to the face!

Today I built my first wheel

x2. MEtro-Detroit is not very bike friendly and it's just plain dangerous to ride on some of the roads here if there's any amount of traffic. Honestly, I prefer to ride on the sidewalk if the speed limit is over 35 on the road, just because I'm not nearly as worried about some idiot in her Mercedes texting and not looking at the road and hitting me.

You know, in Chicago the officers rarely show up to court for these things. If the issuing officer doesn't appear in court to defend it, and you do show up, case dismissed. If I were you, I'd see if your town was like that.

Today I went on a 60 mile fixed gear ride that involved climbing the only decent hills in Chicago, seeing a spot where The Blues Brothers was filmed, riding by Louis Farrakhan's house, getting harassed by Secret Service for trying to take a picture of Barack Obama's house, seeing a bunch of stuff from the 1893 Columbian Exposition, riding by the former site of H. H. Holmes' murder mansion (it's now a Post Office.) drinking a pint of Zombie Dust, and getting a shard of glass in my tire. All in all, it was a good, yet tiring day.

Today i found a Fuji Allegro at the local dump.Triple butted Valite,Nitto stem and bar,sugino crank and seatpost,suntour shifters and my size.Paint is a bit rough but the rest should clean up nicely.I guess there's always room for one more bike.

Today I got in 78 miles.

jealous

Nice.

Just gotta one-up don't ya... Kidding. Good job.

Today I had the usual class, band, boredom, nothingness. Went to the local coffee shop for open mic night a few friends were playing, had some good times and good drinks.

Today I got my first of new parts ordered, in :D

Boom. Bag loaded with subs.

Eating like king for the next week.

Update on today: My Fizik Arione Tri2 saddle arrived. It's nicccce. I'm about to go wrench it on for a 3AM test ride.

<hipster>Today I rode to the thrift store to shop for sweaters.</hipster>

Also, I played a lot of CTR with some friends. Sooooo much fun.
