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 night I had a dream that I snapped my NDS Egg Beater in half. They've been making a weird creaking noise lately.

I woke up from a dream where I couldn't sleep. Needless to say, I do not feel rested. FML

Today, while on the toilet reading an old issue of reader's digest, I had an epiphany about the individual rationale of organized religion.

Meh. I'd rather ride my bike outside but I'm buying rollers anyway.

No, I certainly am not. It's 95 degrees and 50% humidity in STL right now. Is that not hot enough for everyone else?

... finished building the new fork for my separable touring bike.

Tomorrow I will build the new rear triangle and then I just have to build up a custom stem.

God I love the smell of flux in the morning.

TODAY I:

raced to the dogpatch saloon to meet up with my friends at 12am for a midnight bike ride in San Francisco. I had some Blue Moon for the first time, it was surprisingly good.
I missed the ride but my friends stayed and we rode all over SF bombing hills and having a good time. We stopped at Valencia to walk around and eat. That's where I had a jumbo Burrito and a Red Tail to quench my hunger/thirst. after that we rode to Balboa Park at 3am, that's when the fog rolled in. it was epic!!! passed out for 4 hours then I rode down a massive hill onto Valencia at 930am where I had the best iced Soy Latte and PB&J. from there I took BART to the EAST BAY and now I find myself here, eating,wanting to go on another bike ride.

Life is good.

OH Yea! and I bought a new wheelset. Suzue promax-Velocity with an
EAI Gold Star!! smooooth riding

today I...

was meeting up with a guy from craigslist to sell him a hat I was never going to wear. The guy was running late and gave this meth head looking guy a chance to approach me. He asked if I had a gas can he could have and I thought “oh the ol’ I’m out of gas excuse” and I said “actually I do, in my truck not far from here”. And I told him I’d go get it for him after I sold this hat.

Sold the hat, went to get the gas can and met him at a nearby gas station. I gave him a $1 for gas and the guy next to us did as well. I asked him before we put any gas in that if he was bull****ting me, just tell me now and I’d give him the $1 bill instead of the gas, that I didn’t want to waste my time for nothing. He assured me he was telling the truth.

So he gives me the location of his car and I bike down Dallas for a little while looking for it, I pass Taft and I still haven’t seen it and I’m starting to think I’ve just bought some guy without a car some gas. But I go a little further and sure enough there’s a car illegally parked in front of some condos, like he mentioned, and it’s the same make and model he said it’d be. I waited for him to get there, so I could get my gas can back, but mostly because I was curious to see if he was telling the truth after all this.

He finally shows up and starts putting the gas into the car. I even briefly thought he may be filling up a stranger’s car just to not look like a liar, because he briefly played a “I can’t find my keys” game and had already told me “man I lost my phone earlier”. So my faith was definitely wavering.

He finds his keys, pops his trunk and moves about half of the gas into an empty bottle of alcohol (we didn’t have a funnel). I’m not sure why he had such a giant bucket of alcohol in his trunk, but he did. Eventually after spilling most of the gas on himself, he gives up and offers to give me a ride back (I decline). He also heard me take a picture of his car and was like “AW DON/T BE MAKIN’ FUN OF ME ON FACEBOOK NOW.”



then on the way home, the clicking sound from my bb/chainring/whatever returned! GDF)(#@%)*#@)(%*)#(
