Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

This is exactly what I thought. Looks like a shiny paint job and a fancy camera to me.

Worked for a bit, split early to ride down to Navy Pier (shudder) to hang out with some of my wife's family that I haven't seen in a while. Had more fun than I thought I would. Walked to Millennium Park to go to a noise/electronic concert with my friend Nick and this dude Jason that I make music with sometimes. Now I'm headed home to make a tall whiskey and ginger and read some comics. Damn, this has been a good day.

A lot of things. I'm a touch behind because I work a lot, but I read Deadpool, Daomu, Locke And Key, Walking Dead, The Boys, and a ton of one-shots. I just got Before Watchmen, but I haven't read it yet. Looks awesome though.

I enjoy bizarre. Jesus Hates Zombies, Afrodisiac, Milk & Cheese, and Jim Mahfood's Stupid Comics are some of my favorites.

Also, Action Philosophers is awesome.

Looks like I have a few things to look into now. You should enjoy Sweet Tooth then.

Walking Dead(although I'm behind a few issues), Sweet Tooth, The Stuff of Legend(waiting for more...), American Vampire, Skull Kickers, more, those are just off the top of my head... Not many super heroes interestingly...

Better than forgetting your wallet 150 miles into a 2000+ mile drive.

Pretzel buns are the ****. I mourn that you are just now discovering them, but now that you know you will seek them out everywhere. There's a sandwich place in Chicago called Hannah's Bretzel that has great sandwiches, most on pretzel buns. So good.

YESSS. The place in Kenosha, WI where we stop for a lunch break during our Chicago-Milwaukee Century has pretzel ice cream cones. Was too full of double bacon cheeseburger last year to try one, but this year I am saving room.

Usually I am a "worth it to try it once" kind of guy, but I would wait for Kuma's again. Or maybe it's just because I'm craving a good burger right now at 8:30am.

Same here. Too bad I brought canned ravioli for lunch. Everything is the worst.

Today I got a response from my alderman to a letter I sent about cycling safety in my ward. I'm feeling kinda geeked out about being involved in the betterment of my neighborhood, even if all I did was complain a bit. (Ok, a lot.) But I am hopeful that things will get better for cyclists around here.
