Not today, but a couple of days ago. Long story short t-boned a car face first and wasn't my fault.
Weird how every damn part on the bike survived, yet the frame got creamed.
Even the fork survived, and the front wheel is true!
I will miss this damn bike so much as it was my first real build and have put over 7k miles since last year February.
Time to build up a new bike for next year. Im thinking a steel frame. Would love to find a bridgestone in my size.
Anyway, Be safe out there guys and please don't forget to wear your helmet because If I didnt I wouldve been a vegetable or dead.

(Yesterday) I took home a Cannondale MC400 my dad found for my oldest daughter to use. MUSA 24" MTB hotness. Pics coming.

Bikepacking is awesome.
My friends can't climb worth a poop.
A pile of pictures and whatnot to come.
In the meantime, here's a photo of me yawning...this sums up how I feel this morning pretty well.

Thanks. I know where you're coming from, but unfortunately in this accident brakes didn't matter because there was absolutely no time to react. Ive been in 3 accidents on that bike- first one getting doored, second time getting cut off, and this one. All of which where it didnt matter or not to have brakes. I just feel like Nyc traffic is getting worse and worse each year as to which people are becoming much more aggressive drivers.

Unfortunately I am the opposite. 2 br 910 sq ft apartment, and it looks like a bike shop in here. Tools mixed in with helmets, shoes and gloves in a somewhat disorganized storage area. Extra room means extra bikes. 4 is the current number, almost turned into 5 this weekend. I have no plants or framed art work hanging currently. A/V system is nice with a 42" LED tv and sound bar with powered sub, small love seat that my ex wife insisted that I take when I moved out. I have adult stuff, it just looks like a cyclist lives here. Vertical storage of two bikes in plain sight. Rubber mat behind the kitchen table for dirty/wet bikes. Couple of dang grease stains in the carpet unfortunately. Bike stand tucked in the corner. Lights charging on the side table. I accept it. Spare bedroom/computer room has tires, tubes, and 3 sets of wheels in it.
Today I turned into Thor and managed to strip the threads on the stem of my SS MTB turned commuter. Pretty sure I forgot to grease that one before I put it in when I swapped the bar. Oops.

Here I keep four bikes (two road, one track, one mtb) plus related shoes, helmets and all my clothing. I also keep a pump, stand, trainer, and a wooden dresser with tools, tubes and small items.
I manage to fit it all in one big rug in the corner of my bedroom. It takes up like 1/3 of the floorspace in there but I also manage to make it look somewhat organized.

Just went on a 1 hr sunset mtb cruise in the canyon by my apt and into the park that overlooks it. Totally unplanned ride - and it was totally awesome!!! So nice out.

My bike shop is going to start carrying All City bikes. He just called and asked if I wanted a Mr. Pink - I said yes.
So I guess one of these might be in my future...

Well damn, when is All Sh¡tty going to call me up for a free Mr. Pink. I want one bad especially since you cannot get any Nature Boy Zona's unless you find a used one which doesn't come up much and I could stand to build up a more modern road bike that isn't a 12speed in the old school sense (6x2)

Yesterday I had an interview while on lunch break from my current job -- It went well! I have an onsite interview next week but really I have a doctors appointment

So right now I'm waiting to get a haircut at Great Clips on senior Wednesday. Typing this on my new iPhone on the abbreviated forum really sucks.

To be fair, I think the new mobile version of the site is 100% better than the old version. Even worse was the app. I paid $2 for that thing and it was awful.

you can just view desktop version on the bottom
this version stinks no matter which platform youre viewing it on, though.
when i go to edit a post or advanced mode the page is 4 screens wide and i have to scroll to find the post button
not to mention the piss colored gradient.

Today i found out that despite my new lease starting August 1st, I can't move in until August 3rd.
So..... Guess I'll be moving all my stuff into storage for a few days. Pretty lucky my parents still have a barn about 20 mins away that has some space in it. Moving sucks and moving twice sucks more.
