What's the day and time for their rides?
Only reason I made it to the wolfpack ride was because I had an exam for my class and got out early. Probably never make it again until the end of the semester.
That's funny, I work at Santa Monica Pier.

Yeah, BFSSFG is a surprisingly small world. I met Misskaz here. Turns out she lives 6 blocks from me and has become one of my closest friends. Scrod used to sing for a band I loved when I was younger. Crazy.

Today:

First day in forever without rain and the streets were dry so I rode my nice roadie to work. I was so pumped about that bike and having gears that I big-ringed it the whole way. Legs are jelly now... but in a good way.

Had a guy ride up to me and a few friends, all of us eating breakfast on the bikes before school. He's on this sweet vintage conversion FG/SS. As he rides up to us, he says to me:

Random stranger: "Nice bike."
Me: "Thanks."
Random stranger: "You should go fixie on that, it'd be a sweet ride."
Me: "Um...."
Random stranger: "I'm new here, if I see you around, maybe we can rebuild that rear wheel so you can try it."
Me: "Um....."

It was the oddest ****ing moment in my life. Was he blind? Did he not look?

I think dude was just trolling you hard :\

I would have just taken my water bottle out, squirted him and sprinted away. How sweet would that look.

Today I borrowed a friend's back up roadie and took a solo around the east bay... a year sure brings a lot of change. For one, when did they swap out all the streetlights around my house with slimline LED set ups?
