Today I watched Fixation on netflix and decided to wander back to bikeforums to see what's happening.

And now I want to ride my bike but probably won't be able to today.

They did but Adams Ave is a pretty good shop too. North Park is a cool spot and super trendy right now but all that comes with a price tag.

Watched some fixie kid with a gold and blue bike try to turn on one of the painted intersections after a fresh rain today, he hit the ground and I just started busting up laughing. He got up and gave me a glare but I know he just felt shame.

My car was pelted by hail this afternoon on my commute home. The hail looked to be between pea and marble size and it sounded like bullets hitting the roof. I can't imagine getting hit by that stuff. I have no doubt it must hurt!
