Ride Lugged

Last friday was Bike To Work Day, I showed up at 8am at the “pit stop” in Freedom Plaza accross from the Wilson Building (DC City Hall).

Here are some more lugged bikes I saw.

This sweet ‘Nago with the white cable housing.

The carbon fork kinda ruins this Vanilla.

My friend Garrett’s LeMond and his roomate Casey’s Raliegh original.

Nerdy commuter bikes sure look a lot like nerdy touring bikes.

mel and i will be in frederick on the 3rd o’ june and we’re looking to do a ride sunday.  i propose an easy 25 mile route, starting east of middletown at the south mtn creamery.  we’d make a rough loop over to gathland state park, eat lunch and head back to the cars, eating ice cream at the end. what more could you want?  beer… well.  frederick has plenty of that.  anyway, who’s game?  proposed rough route diagram http://www.routeslip.com/routes/41759.

I’m pretty sure that Jimmy Levan doesn’t ride lugged bikes….

the complete lack of any safety equipment is kinda rad…I bet he’s wearing a cup.

Bessy gives them two udders up.

I got a digi vid camara in january and have been filming things here and there…so I finally got a computer together that could handle (very poorly) editing the footage. I JUST got the chance (since I’m sick and at home) to put something together that was the highlights of my winter.

Gotta love Hutch goofin’ around and makin’ fun of you know who.

Wallingford Bicycle Parts has a section on hacks the people have used to mount their carradice bags. I think the above picture is the best hack, I could use some quick release system for my bag. There are definitely some guys who went overboard with the hacking though, but I guess if you have a welder or a cnc machiner then you have to use it for something.

I was glad to see today the John has a commuter/road bike with gears again after we kept breaking his, everytime he rode with us.

check his bike to work pics out at flikr. (and some nice pics of the bike.)

read this uhmm… eulogy, I guess.

seriously, hear me out and read it to the end.

OK, so it’s ride to work day. (that’s in the US only I think.)
Veronika didn’t know so she rode her bike to work anyway.

Hey it’s Friday! I guess I might go ride around the block and get back to work.
