Hilarious blog. Thanks for the link. I knew the bike was from Manchester because it looks like the inside of the (sadly former) Hacienda!

Got my shoes in - talk about a different feel with the full carbon sole.. still waiting on the Speedplays.

bbaquiran · May 22, 2009

What shoes did you get? I like Sidis.

That's quite a bit of sugar.

kronik · May 22, 2009

Could probably use a little less sugar but eh.

Yeah, I have a question.

Why do you people always ride your bicycles in the road even when there's a sidewalk right there? Why not just use the sidewalk? Why make me have to slow my car down and dip into the wrong lane? The sidewalk is there for you; it wants you. Why do you hate sidewalks?

kronik · May 24, 2009

Sidewalk.

We hate you too.

Because it is illegal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk? At least it is over here.

Not to mention, it's a safety hazard for the majority of pedestrians who utilize them.

I may have to buy a bolt cutter to cut the stays, as I don't really feel like using a hacksaw. I don't even know my hacksaw made it to the suburbs.

Used a dremel to cut the stays. Worked fine.

Can't we share the road ?

Because I met someone who has been ticketed for riding on the sidewalk (although he got the ticket thrown out, who wants to deal with that?)

Is this a serious question or are you just being a dick?
I think I know the answer to that.

Fell for the first (and subsequent second) time yesterday for the first time using the Ergo 2 + Speedplay Zeroes.. trying to go uphill with a rubbing brake, and misaligned derailleur after the first fall.

Yippee.
