4. Fatter tires, fatter the street credz
5. more the skidz, more the credz
6. faster you go, more street credz
7. Deeper your rims, deeper your credz
8. +1 street cred for every spoke over 36
9. inversely, +2 street cred for every spoke under 12
10. +1 for every spoke card (+2 if its something no one has ever heard of)
11. if your bike weighs more than 25 pounds, +2 for every carbon part
12. +10 if the red strip on your rando's is visible

etc.

I had a green one earlier with ginger, big fan of ginger now. went and picked up a few lbs earlier.

tried one of jamba juices carrot juices (their juicer is massive!) and it was delicious. they put it in a blender with a banana afterwards (I'm too lazy to clean a juicer AND a blender) and it was yummygooey

Today I scheduled my first date since my August break-up. Since it was a four year relationship, that makes it my first first date in almost five years.

I did also see another "sweet fixay" in West Palm Beach yesterday complete with mismatched color crankarms, two disc wheels, a slammed saddle and upside down risers but was asked very defensively "Why are you taking a picture of my bike?" by a dude standing nearby. I explained it was a prime candidate for the 'Jackass' thread on BikeForums and he walked away with his bike saying "**** BikeForums".
