Went through this same issue when I moved form southern CA to the north. I was not used to the springtime here... Horrible. Good thing my body seems to have gotten used to it 7 years later.

Oooh, I had checked before, but somehow I missed that you had the Noodle in stock. Sweet!

Rode Cyclavia in L.A.

Today I tried Speedplays on my road bike. Weird at first - flet like on the ice surface.... I liked it 20 miles later...

Found this and want to buy one so bad. I never top out over 20 MPH with my daughter in the trailer, but I'd love to race with a solid trailer built to withstand the abuse.

Sat inside. Cold day, raining like crazy, blowing wind knocking stuff over...

So, I converted 2626 still images that I took on a nice spring day with my gopro into a time-lapse movie.

thats pretty awesome.

your pedaling looks pretty jerky, just sayin.

This morning I got a flat in the middle of our race, with less than 8 miles left to go. Around 60-70 showed up, and I was, at the time 4th overall and 2nd fixed. Still, I would've DQd myself for getting lost with another racer which shaved off some of the route. All in all, a great event and we're all psyched for next year. I would love to see some midwesterners on here there for the next one.

Then I did the Tour de Donut. With a brakeless bmx.

Today I took a spill at the pumptrack/ dj's. I'm alright was a slow speed crash where I simply just lost the front.

Hard to get smooth pedaling when you are capturing one frame a second ;) Think I need to try to do a whole ride as close to 60 rpm as possible... so it looks like I am not pedaling at all.

Today I locked my bikes to my computer desk in my own goddamn house. I'm paranoid the thieves will try again since they didn't get anything the first time.

Terrible... terrible... that you have to do this.

Interesting perspective on the video, the "crotch cam" ?

damn you lester. now im playing world of tanks all the time :( I need to do hw...

Heh, I was going to mount it on the seat rail, but thought that the under top-tube mount would capture cooler video, I really like how it turned out. Can't wait for nice weather, upper 30's gusting to 50mpg and downpour is where I draw the line... Have bunch of ideas for some more little time-lapse videos. Want to get some offroad footage on the cx bike and some sailing (racing) out on Lake Superior.

Sorry muffin man. I haven't played in days cuz weather too nice.

Jay, harsh realm in San Jose.

Today I rode a bunch. Shopped for mini laptops for a bit. Thinking thinkpad e120e with the e350.

That Lenovo looks nice.

I'm currently using a Macbook Air 11... Love it! Got it for $998 out the door. It's my primary laptop. Great for biking around with.

MBA's are ****ing awesome. I got the 13". 4GB of ram and this thing smokes any other computer I've ever had, even with similar or better specs.

Today I was on the edge of walking out with a pedal wrench in hand to defend my co-worker from a customer. The man became upset, threatening, and almost physical as he tried to get my co-worker to step outside. All this fuss over an agreed upon $5 late fee that he "was not told about"

Christ almighty, some people are effing ridiculous.

Today this stripped when I was putting my drops back on, not the screw, but where it mounts. It gave me ZERO resistance when putting it back in ( that's what she said ). I don't even know how I managed to pull this off.

You stripped your stem? I'm assuming it was probably very close to being stripped to begin with. That's the one that dude in town gave you for free right?

There should have been a pic! I missed something when I pasted the image link, it's there now! and here too, so you don't have to go back a page.

Ohhhh...

I think I have some hardware I once pulled off a bent caliper hanging around at the shop. I'll do some digging.

one of the guys at my LBS had his bike stolen earlier this year. It was found like this

apparently it's been there for a week, thief locks it up AFTER he breaks it (853 btw)? leaves all the parts though. very weird. wondering if he pissed someone off

I'm not sure if I'd rather find my stolen bike like that, or not at all. I suppose frames are replaceable, but it'd be a real bummer to find your ride like that.

Damn, looks like the thief stole his S&S couplers.

See, this is where I deviate from the norms of society; I totally support cutting off someone's hand for theft.

You steal my ****, I catch you - the only question you should be worried about answering is hand or foot. Period. No, I have no sympathy. Sympathy has bred a society of people who know they can just take and everybody will forgive them and turn the other cheek. F that noise. You'll remember not to steal when you have to wipe your snotty nose with a stump.

qft.

today my AC unit started working again randomly in my studio.
