We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Today my sqrl and I made our facebooks say we were engaged as an April fools joke, everyone proceeded to freak out all day completely ignoring todays date. Who in the right mind would propose on April fools day?

I saw some of that, but there were a lot of cops on bikes and motorcycles. From where I was, people seemed to be following the rules and all of that. The main thing for me is the speed and congestion. I prefer to ride at a faster speed than 10mph.

Some people are riding on another "CM", something like "back to the basics" without the police ******* and what not. Might be worth checking out.

Went overboard on buying bike stuff... New cog (EAI 17t), chainring (Origin8 48t), bars (Easton EA50 ergo drops) tape (Fizik Microtex), head and tail lights (Bontrager Flare and Ion), as well as a new chainwhip and the most worthless tool ever, the CRB spanner. Between all of that and the tattoo, I spent far too much money today. On that note, I'm buying EpicSchwinn's Lolergy later this week. My biek gonna be tarcky as ****.

I thought it started at Stanford, but not sure. Udacity.com Gonna see if I can cram a 7-week course into one week. I think I can do it, though. It's an intro class, so I just have to learn the syntax of the snake.

I was talking about this one. Good program, though can get difficult as you can't ask anyone questions, and it's sometimes hard to see the lecturer's screen.

work work work at new bike mechanic gig

I got to help a disabled person in an electric wheelchair. Her front tire went flat, so I had to hoist her chair up, remove the wheel, and go through a process to disassemble the wheel so I get the tube to patch it. She and her husband, equally disabled, came from Canada just to get some southwest goatheads in their tires.
