Today I switched out a 15t cog to 18t with a 42t chainring, had so much more fun spinning - might have been the first day of sun in a month and a half, but had so much energy "accidentally" hit 33 on small downhill
realized biking is seriously the best thing known to man with my hair all flying back and a huge smile on my face

Today I had to pass the same guy three times on the ride home because despite the fact that I was clearly faster than him, he shoaled way out into the intersection every time we hit a red light. It's not an affront to your manhood that a girl passed you, dude. And if it is, giving me the opportunity to pass you THREE TIMES isn't very smart, now is it?

Still kicking.
Today I got in a good ride in the rain.

Today I got picked up from office hours because it was extremely windy and rainy and there was a tornado watch.

Today I worked until a little after 5. Found a couple old shimano books containing the BB info I needed. Bought a BB. Came home and swapped some cranks on my road bike and watched the Giants game. Now i'm going out for chili cheese dogs.

I heard an ugly noise coming from my pedals which had been mildly squeaking earlier. I took them apart for a good overhaul and found that a bearing had cracked in half! I'm glad I caught that before anything seized up. A frozen pedal with clips could be a little dangerous :O

FML after making the gear change I noticed my rear wheel was under tensioned. The things a wheel build will teach you :-/
So I just spent that last two hours (yes, it is now 2:45am) tensioning and truing my wheel with just a brake caliper to guide me

I have 44x19 waiting for me on my Motobecane Track. Maybe some ridiculous bars I find at the co-op, too...

Commuted through some mid-april snow and made a BF account after lurking here for awhile.

Today I found out the people up stairs have really nice smelling shampoo, but too bad I had to find this out by having their drain water fill up my sink and soak my floor.

just as i clean the winter grime off my bike a week ago, it snows 
but at least its already melted
and realized today that buying an njs style frame is completely impractical on a budget

Your cog is slipping.
Today I blew my stack on the dude at the post office for not scanning a package I shipped to vw addict, rendering the tracking info completely useless. Normally this wouldn't be much of a problem but the package seems to be MIA.
