Ride Lugged

No crazy news, just a good ride that smelled good and was slow and painless and I got alot of thinking done which is always good. Rained at the tail end but I was almost home, so my undies stayed dry. Thats whats really important you know. I’ve resolved to try to ride every single day is halfway ok out. And maybe sometimes when its kinda halfway really bad out. I’ll try to get my recent essay draft up, kinda expounds on a few things, mainly why bikes reached thier pinnacle in the early 80s, and why no one seems to be able to make a bike as good as a miyata 800 dollar touring bike for any amount of money, in terms of production bikes. Custom doesnt count for this argument. Why cant trek or specialized make a bike that will be an icon of practicality and usefulness and still be a blast to ride? They did it all through the early 80s, have they just forgotten how? I dont think so. I think its all about money. Its not even about racing or lightweight, as I will debunk later, but its about money, and that makes me sick. -james
