Verbose 07-21-11 12:54 PM

Got my GR-9s in and installed them. Wasn't long before I realized that my clipping in issue was definitely the old stock pedals. Now I need to try and bend the clips a bit to get them to not kill my big toe.

Jaytron 07-21-11 02:40 PM

Rode to work. Still can't get used to OTS without hoods (had a roadbike). I think it may be time to get some bullhorns.

There seem to be a fish on your forehead; that's a good sign. :)

Dood, recover well and keep that smile on! :hug:

jdgesus 07-22-11 07:36 AM

LOL. That fish is from the tape they had me strapped down with.

Thx for the well wishes :) just a bit stiff today and my left quad looks like chris hoy's

From what I foggily remember, the bike was folded at the head toob/down tooob junction

I just hate not remembering much from after the crash, would love to have seen the Sasquatch sized dent in the side of the jeep

homebrewk 07-22-11 07:45 AM

Let us know if you need any help with your bike! We would all love to help out.

hamfoh 07-22-11 12:02 PM

damn dude. brakeless? if so I hope that doesn't come back to you at all and I hope the cops were *******s to him

jdgesus 07-22-11 12:49 PM

had a front "break" (harhar)
dood was totally at fault... crossing a double yellow line is like going thru a brick wall!
went to get the bike, no one was at home at the fire station... i'll try back later.

Today I learned first hand that some roadies are just despicable during my morning commute to work.
Anyhow after stopping at the corner of the block, I saw a roadie coming but he was more than half a block away, so I felt no need to yield to let him pass. After doing so, with no possible danger to him, he goes pass me and yells "watch out a - hole; get a real bike". So, he didn't go that fast at all despite the seriousness of his build.
I ended up following him with just my normal pace without him knowing, thanks to the lack of derailleur and freewheel clicks. The route of my commute is a popular bike route. He goes on to look back and yells, "What's wrong with you, stop following me, you r*tard". There was a steep climb coming up and instead of responding to his insult again, yeah I'm very passive, I just simply sprinted up the hill, claiming him with ease but taking my sweet time to pass him from the outside, so he could get a good look. I even heard his gears all shifting in attempt to catch up to me but to no avail.
Anyhow, I think he took an alternate route as he was no where in sight as after, I actually wanted him to try to catch up in a straight section so I can go on a all out sprint on a townie.

Congrats on the cat6 win.

Haha, great story. In my experience roadies in the San Diego area are big as*holes. Triathletes are nicer, but bigger tools.
