Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

You have tats? Strict dress code. They have to be completely covered up. If I am still there in the summer, delivering on 90° days should be reaalllly fun with half my arms covered up.

Found a Spinergy sr3 wheel sitting next to the dumpster today, looked like someone moved out and just said **** it, I don't need this.

It's missing the NDS bearing for some reason but has a campy 10 speed cassette, think it's veloce but still a good come up for taking out the trash.

This is the third street wheel I've found this month.

Yep, cyst. She said it can develop for a long time before presenting symptoms, in my case it ate away at the tooth bone then erupted into the nasty looking bump she lasered off.

glad to hear your foot is coming along. Being in good overall shape is a huge factor in healing.

Yeah I guess if I got into some fantasy league, this might be more helpful than football haha.

Why don't you apply for a job at Retrogression ? I think you'd have no problem meeting their dress code.

Good to hear that no one needed to be arrested and that everything is at peace.

It sucks at a level that is surprising! So, it will truly be a joy when it ends!

I learned at a young age that my personality and alcohol were not meant to be together. I am sure glad the police were different back then!

Looks like I'm gonna be pulling an all nighter. It's 5:15am right now, and I'm like 3/5 of the way through all the material for this morning's midterm... I really should start studying earlier next time.

studying was always counter productive to me unless it was reviewing my notes the half hr immediately before the test started

Already wrenched on my geared bike a little. New parts always make the day go better, and wrenching before lunch does as well.

Today was beautiful -- overcast and cool, don't get many days like this in LA. Went out for 30 miles.
