That is so rad. I like playing the difficult maps like:

I'm gonna have to go look at Boston a little bit, I remember it having nutty street layouts.

Unkle Rico 03-31-15 01:03 PM

Here's a fun one in Brussels (well not all that fun, pretty tough to navigate!)

I tried to do one in Sun City, AZ where they have a couple of concentric circle street layouts but the streets are a little too far apart for real fun - you only get the inner arcs

Best one I've got so far. Ladd's Addition in Portland, OR.

indeed it is Martyn Ashton, no cyclocross bike. his previous video was done on a top end dogma

It's Martyn's Bike Party 2 vid but that is actually Danny Macaskill riding the bike in that shot.

@3:45

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Your previous post made me look that guy up earlier. I didn't recognize his name. I checked out his vids. That clip turns out to actually be Danny Macaskill as a guest from the #2 vid. If you haven't seen Macaskill's vids, they are killer too. Awesome cinematography, especially Epecuen.

Owlex 03-31-15 04:24 PM

All of those road bike party vids are insane

Today I'm an idiot.
Bought a Thomson X4 instead of a X2 on ebay. I hate myself.

the X2 looks nicer imho. You can probably sell the x4 for more and buy a cheaper x2

I was trying to buy a X2, but I can't read ebay titles apparently.

Today the entertainment module in my car took a dump and is completely dead. No Sirius satellite radio and I just renewed my annual subscription for over $200. Can't play a CD either or even listen to standard FM. Also, sometimes the compass goes bonkers, and the nav system shows me driving perpendicular to roads. Modern hi-tech cars suck.

Give me roll down windows or give me death!

Mumonkan 03-31-15 08:05 PM

^for srs.

my gfs car has all that fancy computer bull**** in it and its always breaking, gimme anything from the late 60s thats made of solid pig iron any day

Sherblock 03-31-15 08:07 PM

Found a vintage suede unicantor at the co-op, it's mine now. Really odd that no one saw it, considering we don't get new parts all that often. Debating between putting it on something or keeping it for another project.

edit: forgot to mention I've got the trek down to 22 lbs. Only things that would lighten it up at this point would be a new stem/bar, and pedals.

My 1986 Mustang had manual windows and I loved it. Manual door locks too. My new car has this stupid keyless pushbutton start, and if the transmitter battery dies the car won't start. Also, the steering is electric with no direct mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels. Scary !

Is it a Prius?

Leukybear 03-31-15 08:56 PM

Tejano doesn't your key fob have a pull out key tucked away inside?

That's just an oversized golf cart. Go over 50 and you feel like you're riding in a chinese take out box because of its weight-weenieness.
