Single Speed Commute
I’ve officially decided that riding my single speed in free-wheel setup is BORING! I had it set up this way this weekend so that I could pull my kids on the half bike and not kill my legs… Well, when you’re riding with a group of inexperienced (slowish) riders, that’s fine… but when I want to ride my bike, I need speed, and I need resistance… and this ridiculously small gear is just LAME.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have a wrench with me to flip the hub!
Note: This is Tyler’s wheel… and it is a wimpy little gear… that only a boy-man like him could enjoy.

Don’t Spill Coffee in German Made Cars!
I spilled coffee on the “gear shift” of my German made station wagon on Tuesday night. The result? Well… German’s really don’t like food and drink in their cars, and so I guess as a punitive measure they make a point of not building in protection from spills on key vehicle components.

Fixie Ride to Green Lake
Short commute really… but I want to get more miles in with my fixie this week… still debating the idea of riding it for a double century. The main concern I have is that I’ve been riding free-wheel for the last couple months and have gotten out of the habit of riding fixed.
