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 |
What's the TOC?

shiiiit. BRAKELESS!?
|
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 |
some dood tried to fly around the world in a ballon.
takes all types |

everytime i hear the word "IT band", i think of a buncha computer guys at working playing rock band at lunch
|
rock and roll that **** out
|
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? ($$$$)
|
If you put your palm on the outside of your knee do you feel a popping or clicking when you bend it?
|
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 |
