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)

Last time that happened to me I got this weird road rash. It was all along my elbow... but the sweatshirt I was wearing didn't have a rip o.0

The two people on a swing set just kinda stared at me, so I just shouted out "I'm fine" and rode away.

Today I:

1. Headed South on the Scrambler through


Rode until I had used half my water, then turned around. Total 35 miles in 2 hours 40 minutes, slower-paced than yesterday but I was just out cruising and looking at the scenery. Even rode up all of the hills!

2. When I got home, the last parts for my townie project (for the initial build at least) were on the front porch, so I finished assembling that and took a few pictures. Test ride and (hopefully) cruising around town planned for tomorrow.

3. TBD

I had a clicking in my drivechain. So I took everything apart. Cleaned it up, and put it back together. Now the clicking is gone

I still don't know what was making the click.

I did the same once too, but it was only $10. And I did the same "look around / linger / make sure someone wasn't catching me lift their $". I felt so guilty taking it even though there was nobody there to claim it that I expected one of those fox investigates local news tory type vans to approach me in the parking lot.

$132 though.. jesus ****. That's why I don't carry cash

^ That looks like a lot of fun

I got a Pace hat today, after using one on a couple rides I decided I needed my own.

Today I went on a quick bike ride to Little Tokyo to grab some frozen yogurt with my sister. The hills on 1st Street and Temple are killer.

Spent some quality time with my wife on a beautiful san diego day. Open top ride by/ to the beach/ downtown la jolla; lunch at lucha libre taco shop; shopping at fashion valley. Nearly had the day ruined when the tire pressure monitor went off for a flat mid-day, avoiding freeways and cruising roads proved to be fun especially when you have a flashy convertible; I got my money's worth for my run flat tires. Transformers 3 tonight and tire repair tomorrow morning.

Well, I was sitting there thinking, "hmm...I can't leave the house today, but still want to do some daily good Samaritan work..." and so long story short, I came here and decided it would be a good deed to inform people about my bodily functions!

Anyways, I guess I came down with something...really lamex10/
