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

I plan to try it on fixed one day. It's pretty challenging. Same old same old different day.

So jelly. Have fun, SQRL.Today I had my first doctor appointment since I was a kid. Took tons of blood. Went to my shrink, found out I'm acutely bi-polar and have mild Asperger's. Awesome. Now, to work an Ommegang dinner at my restaurant on my day off.

I already e-mailed them about it. It's going to be the way to go for our CX rigs; best option for a stock complete (steel) out there imho.

At first, I was wondering wth you are talking about.

Then, as someone who wants a CX bike, my eyes widened as I looked up "all city macho man".

I want one in that yellow color now <3

Hopefully this is the bike we are talking about. Why do I all of a sudden, want a yellow bike?! That yellow looks great with the black components.

Comic book museum, and cycling in the Ardennes as well.....

I was half joking. Waffles and fries yeah. Why we call them french fries when they come from belgium?

For beer be sure to visit the Scourmont Abbey and Auberge de Porteaupre https://www.chimay.com/en/auberge.html?IDC=293
I kind of miss riding out there and having a beer or three....

Trust me, I know her and her husband well enough that I'm pretty positive they're going to hit every brewery possible.

You guys are forgetting mussels. Mussels in Belgium are apparently amazing.

When you're in Amsterdam, make sure you get pannekoeken mit spek!!! Pancakes with strips of bacon cooked right into em! And obviously rent bikes. That place is so flat, those heavy bikes basically propel themselves.
