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)

Today I ate inhumane amounts of guac thanks to the sqrl coming up on a killer deal on 2nd quality (downgraded for smaller size) avocados. #queasy

Today I found out that my TriCross has a rear flat. It's always the rear.

Today the Bradford Pear trees have come out in full bloom and the whole place smells like feces.

My daughter asked me if I remembered to brush my teeth because of the stench riding in the car with the windows open. Not that I'm complaining...

OK, yeah, I'm complaining. It literally stinks as I ride my bike.

If there is a northbound wind, my neighborhood (and the three south of mine) is overwhelmed by the smell of fermenting rice. Give me stinky trees any day.

They don't smell like feces......they smell like feces with mushrooms on them.

My girlfriend's parents' house is a near a Budweiser plant and it think it always smells like low quality bread. My apartment is down the street from a See's Candy factory, it always smells like fresh chocolate brownies when I pass by.

Ha I love riding through that area of the city and smelling the brewery

I live by a coffee shop that roasts their beans on site which makes the neighborhood smell amazing

Traffic jam musing

Commuting by car now sucks. Traffic is terrible and I'm sitting here watching the sun set. I could stare at the sun if my welding hood wasn't in the trunk. I'm glad I spent my early adulthood screwing around on bicycles. Still feels strange to be done with school but it's good to move on, don't want to be one of those perpetual community college students. It's pretty great to suck at this fabrication thing because I'm learning stuff everyday.

I find it interesting that the rear was still radially laced on the disk side. It probably works fine, just seems odd when the front wheel was cross laced on the disk side and radial on the drive side.
