Just bike there

Sometimes they let people in late. Depends on how busy it is. Just try and get here as early as possible I guess.

Get the ones I did. They have a return spring so no flopping around on 'dummy' lever.

Clicky

Pic shows two levers, but description is of right lever only?? Why is ad copy for bike parts sales on Amazon always so crappy?

Today I got to work on my project fixed Free Spirit. If all goes well, might get her on the road tomorrow.

TTT bars, Benotto pantagraphed Cinelli Stem, hopefully Campy Chorus Cranks, cheep wheels.

Yeah, The bus gets there at 8:47, the stop is .2 miles away. It's physically impossible to get their earlier, without leaving friday night, lol.

Its gonna be close, but I think I'll be fine.

Let's see...

Today I didn't do ****. Woke up at 11. Came back to the University of **** AKA UC Berkeley. Didn't go to class at 3. Ended up hitting on girls for about 5 hours. Went 1/4 because my friend/wingman robbed me of 2 of the 4, and I got major cockblock on the last one. Some girl and dude came up to me to cb.

I also didn't get to ride and won't be able to for the next week because I got a fat cortisone shot in my big toe and am not allowed to absolutely anything, except for limp walk. I also didn't go buy a lock for my FG. I'm a bit paranoid of needles. It was probably 3 inches long. felt that **** in my joint. But all in this shot is supposed to fix me up but I may need 1 more. Yay me.

Also I'm obsessed with riding FG. I tried to ride my road and I failed miserably in the sense that the freewheel got me. I love FG now. you know what they say once you go FG there's no going back. Though I did fail at picking the right Gear ratio. I'm at 46-16 and i love it for the flat road, but back home, not on campus I have major hills at 45 deg inclines and I can barely make it to the top. I have to literally press as hard as i can to move. So I'm prolly going to switch to a 17 or 18t cog in the rear :(

I've considered it. Its a hair under 40 miles. My choices are take the roadie and get there in and hour and a half, but have to rent a bike. Or take the track bike, have it take 2 hours and be sick of track bikes once i get there.

LesterOfPuppets 04-04-12 11:36 PM

almost forgot, today was my turn for mishaps in the crank department. There I was JRA when all the sudden my left pedal feels funny, and progressively got funnier and funnier 'til I had to stop... now I'm running mismatched cranks on the KHS :(

Wow. You must be hella fast.

That's 22+ miles an hour on average on the roadie.

Eh, you're right, and 10 minutes to both of those figures.

Message me your number if you haven't already and I'll let the instructor know that you'll be late.

Today I got my tax return check and paid off my cranks.

I should be getting my GP4000S's and Lizard Skins bar tape tomorrow. Hopefully the package is at my door waiting for me when I get home from class! *crosses fingers*

You're making it kind of easy not to like you.


Today, I used bullhorns for an extended ride for the first time. In spite of myself, I actually quite liked it, since I'm on the elbows a lot anyways. Pretty much only missed drops for the uphills.

Today I'm participating in one of the most peaceful protests of my life. Simply wearing an empty holster on my hip around campus. Gotta love it.

I think it's the same people who say Obama is a communist.

yummygooey 04-05-12 11:02 AM

Lol explore my curiosity and tell me why? Is my endless ranting bothering you or is it the fact that I pulled 1 girl? Hahaha don't worry like half the time they never reply.

I was making a pun on slightly racist African American version of that sentence with human anatomy instead of bikes but let's just forget I mentioned it.

the arc is: bakery->fat->ride bike->not fat->even more happy (still growing old)
