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)

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Today I'm not sure if I can get away with wearing shorts on my ride or if it's time for pants.

Because Chic-Fil-A and the controversy surrounding it pretty succinctly sums up exactly what the hell is wrong with this country, as it relates to its domestic policies. And nobody with a conscience should support those scoundrels.

Actually, all I really know about it is that there was some controversy. I never looked into it. But here are my thoughts in general: all big corporations are evil and money-oriented. The only thing that really differentiates one from another is whether their dirty laundry just happens to be aired at any given moment.

In Corporate America, there are no good guys and bad guys. There are just bad guys. And if you want to take a moral stand against any of it, your only real option is to go live in the woods and live off the land. But even that's becoming a problem, because now everything but the most rural back country is owned by someone or some corporation or government. It's a crowded world, only getting worse.

Today I saw road crews painting bike lane markers straight down the middle of Elmwood (the main hipster street). I somehow doubt this will change anything.

I keep understanding how someone could go postal

lady again leaves the note for 2 packages without knocking. I get them, go to post office, wait in line, they look forever and realize the address is written down wrong. 10 min later come back and say 'oh she's still on her route, she should've checked this 'come by after' box'.

mother of god

nevermind the sign taped to the door that says 'leave packages on porches please'

As soon as I started dealing with them on a semi regular basis (last 12-18 months), I stopped wondering that

They should just make all stamps cost a dollar. getting something across the country for 50c is ridiculous

Every day at right around this time, A dude in a blue Subaru WRX flies by the shop and grinds his gears coming around the corner. Every. ****ing. day.

It amazes me that he hasn't figured out how to shift by now.

Agree!
They always talk about revenue, competition causing usps to loose money but they never talk about basic business practices like putting the customer first.
USPS is horrible, the people are terribly trained and it's almost designed to cause customer hostility and employee apathy.
Any business like that should go under. They never address it.

i am leaning toward the LHT build but the lack of horizontal dropouts hurts a bit. and the new mw stuff is just... so... awesome...

nothing makes snese andymo

Probably not, but the "sharrows" are a sign that the city is becoming more cycling-friendly, which is a step in the right direction.

On a slightly related note, I get to go back to Buff tomorrow. Heading to the sushi joint off Elmwood on Lexington as soon as I get home. Excited.
