Why couldn't you flip the lever over and put it on the other side?

+1, i used to love driving, but driving anywhere when i have to be there at a specific time combined with anyone else driving around me causes rage every time

its at the point now that i kinda have no use for it other than seeing my friend in delaware and making trips to the grocery store easier

my ride to and from work makes me a much more balanced individual

That whole product is a design fault.

I will take some more comprehensive ones later. It's about 1/4mi long and some parts are really steep. A good way to get my feet wet :D.

edit: Here are some more:

today I went for a ride despite the 30 mph winds. I hitch hiked home after I couldn't pedal into the wind any more and was blown off the trails 4 times.

merry christmas BF's

nelsonfung21 12-24-13 02:34 PM

no matter which side i put the cable would still face the outside

rex615 12-24-13 03:59 PM

Today I went for a ride in the mountains, spent more time in the granny gear than I have for a long time. The perils of getting old.

Now I am waiting for the bread my wife and daughter are baking to come out of the oven. The smell is killing me.

jared1988 12-24-13 07:47 PM

Today I thought I had outdid the wife. I bought her a big purse with some money I earned on the side that she didn't know about. She got me a iPad mini w/retina 64gb, maybe next year I will finally outdo her.

Merry Christmas/Happy holidays to you SSFG

Today I did a 42 mile ride from Huntington to Long Beach, it was a beautiful day and also proved without a doubt that roadies are total ******** !!

Damn my legs hurt too !

To those celebrating. Merry Christmas. To those that aren't, hope you are enjoying a day off. To those working...sorry.

Scrodzilla 12-25-13 01:51 PM

Angie & I didn't really do gifts this year because of all the money we just spent moving across the country but I got up early this morning to prepare our traditional Xmas breakfast of huevos rancheros, chorizo and grilled stuffed habanero peppers. Now we're about to get on our bikes and ride out to Pacific Beach and La Jolla.

Happy holidays everyone!

seau grateau 12-25-13 02:55 PM

I'm essentially skipping Christmas this year, but I hope everyone has a good one.

seau grateau 12-26-13 05:49 PM

Ended up burning an Amazon gift card on guitar stuff Xmas night. Got a mini amp, AC adapter for it, cable, strap and a microphone for cost of shipping. I guess it was kind of a holiday after all.

Today I'm thinking about selling my fixay and turning my road bike into a SS townie. Probably gonna do part B of that equation either way.

Dannihilator 12-26-13 08:51 PM

Today I actually got in 42 miles and didn't come back caked in grime.

intothev0id 12-26-13 09:03 PM

Received a blu ray player for Christmas so today I rode my bike to FYE and got all of these for a pretty good deal.

Then rode to New Earth and got these.

Polished off a bottle of two buck chuck. It's the only way I can survive a visit from the in-laws.

Today I decided to make my saddle black. I had a can of Leather Luster and went to work, 2 coats later and it's done and drying. I used to use it to make my black leather boots shine like patented leather but we have switched to sage colored boots. I am pleased with the outcome, even though the neon green made finding my bike at a distance quite easy, this should match a little better
