I have no idea how these two mother****ers did the TOC brakeless:

EDIT: post number 1234 and I use it to complain about my sore vagina

But... but... your streed cred! It's all about the street cred.

I actually had a doctors appt yesterday and they looked at one of my knees because I had mentioned pain in it (started before going brakeless, back in the bball days). I should've paid more attention, but apparently there's some muscle or tendon or something or nother that extends from my thigh down to my knee (just outside the joint is where it stops) -- and it's in rough shape and really tight or something. she mentioned needed to excercise it (I guess she saw that I'm a ****** and don't ride a bike everyday). I was scheduled physical therapy, she mentioned lasers and ****. I really didn't pay attention if you can't tell

but she didn't give me any drugs

shiiiit. BRAKELESS!?

Jandro 02-08-12 02:56 PM

Today I: rode my road bike for the first time in two weeks. It was a fast ride and I did a lot of pulling/inspiring sprint shenanigans.
-Coasting is weird.
-I feel much faster. (possibly placebo)
-My bars are too narrow - the ones on the fixed are much wider and actually feel a little better.
-I missed descending at 40+
-woosha woosha woosha (<3 the sound carbon rims make)

That is all.

p.s. Strayvee

IT Band?

Roll that **** out with a foam roller.

jdgesus 02-08-12 03:33 PM

everytime i hear the word "IT band", i think of a buncha computer guys at working playing rock band at lunch

zoltani 02-08-12 03:35 PM

rock and roll that **** out

hamfoh 02-08-12 03:38 PM

I had to google that. the name doesn't sound familiar but the wikipedia description does. have I really been dealing with this for multiple years when I could've rolled it out? why would a doctor fail to mention that? ($$$$)

zoltani 02-08-12 03:45 PM

If you put your palm on the outside of your knee do you feel a popping or clicking when you bend it?

hamfoh 02-08-12 03:54 PM

yeah there's a popping but it's not like the joint itself, it's something else. if i ride brakeless for a while (and I have to stop a lot) it'll be sore a while when I get home. if i cross my leg when sitting a lot (especially if it's the super comfy under the leg for lounging) then I have to readjust because it feels like I'm going to tear it off

the pop occurs when I bend it in, not when I extend it, fwiw

Note that it was also a carefully chosen photo.

Whoops! Must have misread it--it was late. Sorry! Regardless, riding the TOC brakeless is still really impressive. (Also kind of silly, but whatevz).

hamfoh 02-08-12 04:38 PM

I still don't know what TOC is :(
