All brakeless? That descent is guaranteed to be slow if so. I'm asking because my brake setup isn't fixed yet :|
But yeah, send me the details.

Was apparently chased for 1/4 a mile by a guy on a rickety old pawnshop bike who finally caught me as I was locking up my bike who wanted to tell me that I had a nice bike; it was disturbing and I pretended I did not speak English, or Spanish or Deutsche. Then I took the bike in with me because he was starting to flirt with it.

I was born in the 60s myself. City ridin is no problem. My headlight's too dim for country action unless it's a full moon.
