lets see how slow I can do this.

See? this is what happens when I start a blog. I never update it. The last few weeks have been getting progressivly warmer, and true to my hopes people have been coming out for rides. There was a big ol' tofixd meet an greet with some nasty hills up to st clair and some crazy spinning back down. My bmx pedal experiment is a flop, my feet are not secure enough. That being said, with my slightly lower than normal gear ratio, I unclipped on the ride down and had to coast brakeless for what felt like a kilometer. So I put a brake back on. 

The next week we went on a ride to a viaduct up north and dicked around. Everybody got awesome shots but me. I dont own a camera lol. Go see whats up on tedpowerisyourboss.blogspot.com

In other news, I'm buying a 24" bmx cruiser. The minimal amount of air and fun shit to ride off really made me hungry for some jumps. Not to mention not wincing every time I drop two feet expecting my bike to break into four or five pieces. I'm gonna run a suicide hub on it dont you worry. Actually, start worrying. Did you hear that? I think its the hater train coming around the bend!

april 1st

Man, FUCK today. So much shit went wrong its not even frustrating anymore. It's gotten hilarious. I went to grab my bluetooth headphones this morning and yep! theyre broken! They broke in the same spot my wifes pair did. Then I pedal on to work. In the rain, no biggie, I have fenders now. I feel a weird popping wobbling in my lef pedal and notice, HEY! my crank arm is loose! I slowly pedal a block debating what to do when suddenly it pops off. Ok, Im going to urbane. A 8? mm allen key is just abiut the only thing I dont have in my bag. Get a nice chap I met playing polo to wrench it on tight for me and head to work. My 20 minute commute to work took a god damn hour. and of course blahblahblahblahblahworksuchwhateva. I really wish tofixd would get its act together and put a group ride up. /rant.
