Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Last night, I was working on the townie bike I'm building for my daughter to accompany her to college next month. I realized that I spend an inordinate amount of time picking stuff up off the floor, including multiple episodes on my hands and knees with a flashlight, looking for something tiny that bounced away.

That's great except when you get 120/79 and Aetna sends a monthly "how to lower your BP" thing because it's not under120/under80. On a reading taken at some random time because that's when you could do your checkup.

Goatheads are everywhere this year. I've been spared so far but today my friend and his wife had 5 flats between them. A few miles in she ran through a pile of debris and double flatted. Great ride after that until we were back in town where the workers were weeding and they both ran through a pile of goatheads. This time he double flatted and she only did the front. I picked up a thorn and brushed it off the tire before I stopped, it did not leak.

I suppose I would need new wheels to go tubeless? Maybe I can continue the good luck streak.

Not only does it have Cannondale's "Lefty" one-legged fork, but it also appears to have "Lefty" chain- and seatstays.
