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)

Today I velodromed with Muffin Man, and seen Jaytron. He only had his mehbike with him, so he couldnt ride circles with us.

Then I had a burrito at Iguanas, and when I got back home I went and got new glasses.

Bikes: thats none of your information BF

I took the kilo out for a little riding around now that its in working mode but I feel pretty uncomfortable riding compared to my old conversion. Im not sure if its the different geometry between the frames, or sizing differences. I am hoping its due to the ungodly long stem that came stock, as I am waiting for a shorter one in the mail here soon. guess I got to get used to it, fun times are too be had though

Because of my brother and I both being home from school at the same time, and him working farther away and for not clearly-scheduled hours, I rode in like I did all summer. One day it was 11F, and windchill said it was down to 7-8. Never again.

Today was semi-productive. Helped my dad go buy a lathe off craigs, bought super discounted candy from Target, did laundry and packed to go back to school/cleaned my room. Had to take a day off bikes, my legs still feel weird from my commute home yesterday.

Today I, well last night, came up with an awesome idea for a restaurant.

It would be like a Chinese hot pot place, where you get all your stuff and cook it in the middle of the table, but instead of Chinese food, it would all be ingredients for grilled cheese sandwiches. There would be all kinds of nice cheeses, toppings, and a huge variety of breads, and even some a bunch of meat, and it would all be cut into 2"x2" squares, so it would cook faster, and you could have a variety without getting full to quickly. And you would cook it on a table centered griddle, and everyone would have their own spatulas. There'd also be soups and sauces for dipping.

Yeah, I'd eat there.

So do it at home with a countertop grill on the table:



Fondue is to Chinese hot pot what this is to restaurant tabletop grill...

I'd be happy if there were just a Chinese hot pot restaurant nearby...

Would definitely eat there. Sounds amazing, and you would have the perfect sort of place for the early stages of dating haha.

Today I'm back to school. Just got all settled back in to the apartment and did a bit of grocery shopping. Probably end up going and hanging out with a few friends tonight. Feels great to be back.

I like grilled cheese sandwiches. I would eat at this restaurant. Especially if you provide tomato slices.

I'd open it/eat there.

I hit a pedestrian today. I had a green light, she stepped off of the curb to cross. We were both fine, but she called the cops. When he got there, a car that witnessed it had come back to give a report. Pedestrian lady was being a **** to the cop, so he gave her a ticket for jaywalking and sent me on my way.

This is basically the melting pot, all theyd have to do is add a grilled cheese option on the menu
