A site about lugs, tan sidewalls, maybe jazz, classical, punk and bluegrass, local riding, worldly riding and people, cool cats, lame ducks, 110 bcds, wool, and smelling like hell after a long ride.
unfortunately i was too cold and tired to take too many photos. what few i have are redundant. although the footage i took of brandon in the broom closet with the gas station girl came out quite nicely. look for it on the you tube soon.
WORD!
that was a super-dope ride.
It took me a bit to recover from, of all things, carrying my messenger bag over my shoulder for eight hours straight. I don’t think I’m carrying that so full next time. Nice to see the Peacock…I was probably pedalling up hill and trying to push through the leg cramps to notice it. I’m really surprised I rode that far on a fixie…and only had a sore shoulder to whine about.
Good ole Hercules.
Q
tourists in england have long toured on fat tired, befendered fixies. they use saddle bags for a reason though.
God made spring for a reason…bike riding. Winter is for hibernation.
Seriously, you can see everyone (except Brandon) looking progressively less happy as the day wore on.
Well, my surprise that I rode that far on a fixie was more about myself than the bike. I was comfortable enough on the setup, but that was the longest continuous ride I’ve done on that bike with the current gearing/cranks/pedals. I’m getting a different handlebar setup though….perhaps a flat bar. Everything else was fine/awesome. I am gonna run a light program next tour though…and I’ve got an idea for a handlebar “bag” setup. I’ll post pics of that project as I undertake it.
