New Toys (part 2) - Weight Set/Strength Training Machine
So yesterday I didn’t really get much done during the day. I took the kids to school in the morning, then came home to wait for my buddy Tyler to come by. See, Tyler has been telling me for about a year now that he would “loan me” his weight set. I’ve been telling Tyler, that anytime he wants to bring his weight set by, I’d be willing to let him store it in my garage for absolutely no charge, so long as he sets it up and I get to use it whenever I want… after all it’s in my garage, right?
Well, finally Tyler was ready to act on this idea… so around 9:30, I get the call, that he’s “on his way over”…. he just has to pick up his Dad’s truck, and then he’ll be right there. “What time are you really going to be over here? 4pm?” I ask… “I’ll see you in an hour, Dude! Oh yeah, why don’t I just pick you up on the way from my Dad’s and then you can help me load the truck up and it will take less time.”…. hmmm, I seem to remember the deal being he’d bring it over, I’d store it, now suddenly, I’m helping him load it up too… I suspect there’s more to the story. “Ok, if it speeds things up.”

New Toys - Finally I can look like the cool kids, and enjoy my fixie!
As many of you may have probably picked up from reading my posts about cycling lately, I’ve become obsessed with my new single-speed/fixed-wheel (fixie) Redline 925. Since I bought it back in November I have not ridden any other bike. I’ve put over 750 miles on it.
Well, the guys at Recycled Cycles put a straight bar on it before they sold it to me, because according to them, the stock mustache handle bars weren’t attracting any potential buyers. I’ll admit the straight bar is cool, cooler in my book than the mustache… but not nearly as cool as drops or bullhorns would be. But alas, I was eager to get the new bike and so I didn’t quibble with them over the handlebars.
But, 750 miles of riding around on this thing in a rather upright position, and frankly getting “those looks” from the other cyclists was starting to get to me. The fact is, serious cyclists all seem to look down on people riding around upright. Dammit, I’m riding this same hill with a freakin 42/18 and you’re running up and down those gears like this little bump is L’Alpe d’Huez, and you’re looking down at me!? I’d chew you up for breakfast.
But I have thin skin… really, I didn’t get enough hugs as a child… so I had to do something about these straight handlebars!
