I believe I'll have a car in the summer. Living in Seattle, working in Everett. Hmph.

I checked the mass transit schedule and it says it takes 1.5 hours to get from Seattle to Everett. Might as well just ride. -_-

Today I put my Michelin Pro4 tires on the Kagero and went out for a ride. I instantly hated them. They were slippery as all hell and even after riding for a while, my front wheel slid out while going around a fast corner - pefectly dry road, no sand, etc - and I (somehow) barely avoided eating ****. As soon as I corrected myself, the bead popped off the rim and the tube blew out.

Moral of the story? **** Michelin Pro4s. The roadies can have them and all their hype.

^jesus christ. thanks for beta testing

Yeah, but did you get a picture?

I didn't. I was too pissed at my bike.

Yeah about an hour on the commuter train.....no idea how long it takes driving in traffic.

You like hiking and backpacking and such? If so i will have to tag along when you go....the only thing I might miss a car for sometimes. I usually rent a car a few times a year to do some trips.

Krylion Carbons are the only michelins i trust....

I would be down to do such things, though I have no gear. Lol. <---- nature noob

I think I heard the drive is about 30-40 in traffic? Honestly that's what I drove for my internship last summer and it sucked. -_-

Maybe I'll alternate biking/driving days.

Tubulars ;)

I live in San Leandro, and go to school in San Jose.... i commute by public transportation... THAT ****ing sucks... ~2hr commute

Today I was ready to troll all of you with a threadless stem adapter on my lo pro...

but then I realized it doesn't fit.

:|

shims dawg...
shims on a stem adapter... lol, make sure to use bar shims too
1 inch shimmed to 1 1/8, adapted to threadless, 25.4 shimmed to 31.8.
doesnt get more janky... lol

but ignore all of this cause i just realized the lo pro is 1inch, and i assume your adapter is 1 1/8...
meh

No, no it's too big.

I don't know how this could happen. The adapter is 25.4 instead of 22.2.

What's the logistics of that? BART to fremont and then bus?

Exactly. I had a 730am class last semester. NEVER AGAIN.

pretty much, catch the 500am bart train and get to school at 615, due to the lack of commute traffic. yet, you catch the very next train, which makes you miss that same bus, and you get there at 745am due to the abhorrent amounts of ****ing traffic.

we need a bike only freeway from sac to san jose amiright? =>
then another one from stinson beach to san jose.
then san jose to LA.

let's be the first to do it in america. then we can call it BIKEWAY 1. and in 10 years bikeway will be a verb.

or we could start with more bike lanes?

lol... but in all seriousness, i could bike there in the same amount of time, if there were no stop lights and and it was a straight shot, haha

Occupy the PCH

Today my stem came in the mail so I wrapped my bars and put them on my bike.

carnita burrito, 100 pushups, 30min fast ride on the rollers.

was called on the carpet today to be told that i'm the #1 pick for the hostage negotiation team. but i still have complete the two week academy in May. 24/7 random mess with you/stress you out/push your buttons/try and get you to snap. heh, bring it, the state can't possibly torture me to the degree my fraternity did to get in..... :)

Flites have short, awkwardly placed rails. I maintain that they do not belong on zero setback seatposts unless they're slammed all the way back.
