bike makes a difference when you apply large amounts of power and/or ride up mountains

Addictive drugs are one thing and only serve one purpose, to get you high.

Certain limited editions go for well over $3-4000.

I don't know, I think paying $4k for sneakers made in a sweatshop would also give me a nosebleed.

Today I got Sriracha in my eye. ;(

Mumonkan 02-18-13 08:00 PM

ow. how did you manage that?

Street rider 02-18-13 08:01 PM

This morning I pulled the trigger on the stock Cobra during the Chrome sale. Then after classes, I just kind of hung around the apartment. It really needs to get warm again so I can get back on the bike more. I'm also still trying to find a few people to team up with for a 24 hr stationary bike ride next month. So far its just me and my dad, and without more people its really really really going to suck.

Made fries with ketchup and sriracha, and ate them with my hands. When I was done I forgot sauce was on my hand and rubbed my eye.

My sqrl saw the pain I was in and splashed a cup of milk in my face which did not help.

I do a lot of cooking with various chile peppers, and the first time I go to the bathroom afterward there's always a moment of sheer terror as I try to remember if I washed my hands when I finished dicing the peppers.

Today I rode to work and didn't understand why my twitter was full of people complaining about the weather. Upon arriving at work, I learn it was 15 degrees with -9 wind chill (25mph winds). I noticed the wind because it almost pushed me over a few times but it honestly didn't seem *that* cold. (Those PI lobster gloves are so ridic, my hands are always sweating!)

My only complaint is I'm wearing contacts for the first time in ages and my eyes are killing me but I didn't bring glasses to change into so I have to suffer through another 7 or so hours.

its so nice and sunny here today

Today I: am realizing how different the muscle groups in your legs are for riding fixed vs. geared. Did 70mi fixed on Sunday and I was forced to pass on Wolfpack last night because the little muscles in on my inner thigh and rear thigh (right below my butt) were so tight/sore. I ride 150+ miles a week on my road bike, but haven't touched the track bike in months. Holy crap what a difference.

I just found out that Cannondale will be making a track bike again in 2014. Rad.

**** yes.

Adrian_ 02-19-13 01:08 PM

I hope it's nothing like the Capo.

Nagrom_ 02-19-13 01:10 PM

I hope its a bonafide track bike, and also available as a frameset only.

I can't wait to wrap brake housing all over.

TMonk 02-19-13 01:35 PM

capo is a ss frameset designed for road use

Yup. That's the eccentric contraction that happens when slowing/stopping. Eccentric contractions are a b*tch!
