Addiction LXXVIII

Notices
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

When you "dial it back" is that the same dial that has "400w"?

Apparently the garden bamboo that invades like crazy around here is useless as a structural material. We need to import some pandas.

I'm not a fan either. Never had it on any of my bikes, but I've wrapped plenty down at the shop. My least favorite tape to install.

Was just invited to a touch football game with a bunch of elderly men this weekend.
It was an April Fool's prank. Not even the two-hand emphasis hipped me and I got all huffy. Such a chump. At least I was the occasion for some amusement.

I went back and rescued a bunch of mine. It’s been a while, I think it just let me drag them out.

Two seconds on or off, which includes time to find the right spot to touch it without getting dirty.

I used to be able to click on a link and the picture would show up here or wherever I put it. Now, the best I can do is place the link, not the picture.
