Bike Forums - Today I (v2):

Lets get back on track here...

Today i was luck enough to squeeze in about 30 miles of fun on a fixed gear.

Today i got passed by another singlespeed for the first time. I wimped out and had o walk up a pretty steep hill. I ended up catching back up to him though. we rode along together and chatted. Figured out why he passed me so easily on the hill an i caught back up sp easily. He was running 42/16 and i was using 46/16.

Hope you guys did some pedalling today.

He passed you so easily on the hill because he was more powerful than you were.

Good job on the 30 miles. How bad was the hill that 46/16 made you walk it?

Thread closed for some clean up...

...and that should do it (hopefully).

A bit of me died inside when I went to take a seat at the audi dealer's service lounge after handing over the keys. I had left my phone at home for a walk-in visit.

Worked out pretty well though, ogled at audis, porsches, and land rovers with salesmen hounding me with test drives to "seal the deal".

I think your "often drunk by noon" description and irate post made me think so, but the post above seems coherent and reasonable.

Why thank you, Mr. T... it's not often anyone calls me coherent or reasonable. You may have made my week, lol.

No idea, we just do body work and were returning it to the shop that does mechanical. He also had his other gt3 in there being serviced, he's got a rough life.

This is how it's going to be for me on my commute,errand rides next month. Sometimes it is better to leave the PB fenders on the SSCX bike and just go.

Today I have a fixed-gear biek again. My SS townie/kid-mover (aka "the Scattante SSR that just won't die") got some new track shoes in preparation for the intro class at Kissena and it's 2009 all over again minus the pink deep V's.
Also today I learned that some old road cranks have a 144mm BCD. (specifically, Sugino AS - not much info on the web but they're a step below Aero Mighty)

Feels trivial to post after a tough topic, but there can be comfort in life's routines.

Today I rode the most in one sitting since halfway through December, but I got careless with my headphones and the Bianchi got hungry.
