Anyone else ever wish they were taller (shhhhhhh hairnet, go away), so that they could fit like 57 cm bikes? Because aesthetically, I think that is the sweetspot for frames.

franswa 05-09-15 05:51 PM

You can't tell when you're riding them.

That said, I do wish I was taller as it seems the majority of the used market is for the taller folks.

I wish I was taller and I am 6'4

Why? It only becomes a hassle after that.

I'm 6 foot even and growing up I always wished I was shorter so I could fit on racing motorcycles better.

I've always liked the way small bikes looked if they're set up really aggressive. Decent amounts of seatpost, slammed stem, short headtube.

Sold the mountain bike today, getting ready to sell my old phone, and a couple other odds and ends in order to get money for a cross bike or something like that.

I'm only kidding. Being tall isn't always that great. Especially flying.

Watched A Murder Of Couriers last night. Pretty good doc about messengers in Vancouver. It's probably already been mentioned on here, but....

It's fine out. Remember winter?

Mumonkan 05-10-15 01:27 PM

as soon as the snow melts i just forgot that even happened, now its onto complaining about the next thing like a typical new york ***hole

funny though, its like we get 2 seasons now, summer or winter, with a 3 week transitional period

Huffandstuff 05-10-15 02:02 PM

Was in the sun from 9am till 8pm yesterday. Got in a good 30-40 miles, had some beers at the river and dope vegan bbq. Very much needed after a hell week at work.

As I complain about the perpetual summer. I don't think we even had a "winter" this last year.

I ate two too many donuts.

veganbikes 05-10-15 08:34 PM

I rode to a friends place and we stopped off to get shaved ice first... Banana and root beer are a delicious combo! Now at home chillin' listening to Frank Zappa and Toots and Maytals and posting here!

Today I saw a mother bear with two cubs while hiking. Luckily they did not want to hang out.

I agree. This weather is Vietnam.
Felt light headed after a hard loop in central park; doing this after a stressful 12 hour shift doesn't help.

I applied to be the trainer at my job. I would be responsible for Phase 1 (of 2) training for my department. Most importantly, I would get off shift work.

I figured out an easy bike route to work, 30 mile round trip. I've been wanting to ride there for months but because of school I didn't have the time to ride there. Excited to really put some miles in.

Sherblock 05-12-15 01:38 AM

I love (you) butts!

Sherblock 05-12-15 01:40 AM

hehehhehee
