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)

Gotta love this place. Dude gets smart with me, I fire back with a fairly legit dig, and then guys come out of the woodwork to gang up...
I hope one day I get to be as cool as you guys.

Today I drove to work, which is always weird. I also found what I am sure is the most confusing parking garage in Chicago. But I had to do it because I have two tables and two coolers to drop off at my friend's house for the official Tiny Fix "Welcome to Chicago CMWC2012" BBQ tonight. I'm so excited to meet and hang out with bike kids. I also can't wait to see all the bikes piled up in her backyard. It's gonna be rad.

Today I also made a genius bar appointment to have my phone looked at. Thank baby jesus for apple care, so this shouldn't cost me anything.

what a piece of work you are...somehow in your mind an informal inquiry becomes a desperate need to buy from you?

yeah, gotta love this place that they let a cancer like you back in. is it any wonder dudes get smart with you & others join them?

anyway, we see on a daily basis that it all is about you here so fyi...i was 100% serious about getting you your own personal thread, was hoping maybe it would stop you from constantly contaminating all the others.

think i will go ride my well-fitting bike now. have fun & good luck...

Not here to bicker with you man. You came at me.

And yes, in the "Today I" thread, I do talk about myself often. Seems fitting.
Also, I'm not talking to myself here. It takes two. Don't ask me questions or talk **** to me if you don't want to hear a reply.

apple care is definitely the best.

other people i know with their "phone insurance" from various providers are all but worthless since they make you pay something anyway. my iphone wouldnt turn on after faling 3 feet onto the carpet, brought it to them and they gave me a refurbed one for free. i had to do nothing but hand it to the guy and wait to sign a receipt.

they replaced the mobo to my macbook pro once too completely for free, and my previous white macbook had a similar problem and the genius guys were willing to just charge me for labor since my coverage ran out the previous month, love that place

Kind of want.

how about you try not giving a **** instead of rationalizing yourself?

things will diffuse quickly.

...almost everything except modern pop-country and "christian music" (1. putting a fiddle track over Taylor Swift is -not- country, gimme Hank 3 anyday. 2. ok, try substituting the name Steve for Jesus in that song and tell me how it sounds to you now.)

tempting, but "Saranac Thursdays" are a -madhouse-. hundreds of guys looking for fights and women. in that order. no can do.

Yup, they ended up giving me a new phone. I have my contacts, and did a backup last night but now they are telling me I had software issues too so I shouldn't restore from backup. I really don't want to deal with re-downloading all those apps!
