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?

Just have to take it to a seamstress sometime and get it fixed for like five bucks and they probably will refund that.
Yeah I guess it's not that big of a deal. They're just a lot of money, I would be pissed if my R.e.load liner ripped. I'm still going to end up getting one eventually i'm sure. I just can't decide on 1 strap or 2 straps.

Today I was riding across the French Quarter. Passed a dude on a tall bike towing a platform trailer carrying five people in lawn chairs, ice chest and a grill.

Mine's been going strong for nearly three years of highschool, which I'd think is pretty rough on bags. Literally being zipped and buckled several times an hour, always tossed on the floor, and ridden in the rain too many times to count.

It's awesome. I'd really recommend Mission Workshop.

First full shift at the co-op in several months. My bike mechanic job has drained a lot of my enthusiasm here.

Just like work, but with more bull****, ****tier bikes, and less money!

What more could you ask for.

I have been so busy in my shop that I have pondered hiring an assistant... I have also been teaching classes and working at mobile events and told the guys at the co-op I was going to have to cut my time back as the hourglass is only so big and does not always start out full.

Today (actually yesterday, unless you are on the west coast) I got called a profane word and had a water bottle successfully thrown at me from a passing car.

Didn't think fast enough to grab the plate on the car, only managed to give them the finger.

Bunch of animals around here.

It's not like that, I prefer to be at the co-op. What I do at work has become so highly repetitive and I can't say I get along very well with the new HM, so I have been burnt out om fixing other people's stuff. No matter, I won't be at the shop for much longer. My friends want me to use these new welding skills to make them some furniture, so there will be some fun stuff coming up.

Yeah, it's assault. I would have been able to get the plate run by a friend.

Today I caught wind that a friend of mine wrecked his week-old caliedo vigorelli.
Finding it very hard not to tell him "I told you so" when he laughed when I told him to get a brake.

Good riddance to ugly framesets.
