Bikes and bike riding
Jimmy B and I went for a great ride on Friday night. Yes, it was part of the night riding series. Yes, we did have a great time and covered at least 20 miles. No, nobody fell down go boom.
In this photo, I think I saw some type of Hollywood starlet or submarine sandwich off in the distance that I was looking at lovingly. Honestly, I would have made a move on either had one actually presented itself at this hour.
Freshly rebuilt single speed commuter
Looking sharp and skinny, greased and ready.
New puncture proof tires, original rims. Original brakes, fresh cabling.
New single speed freewheel system with original chainring adn shortened original chain
Oh yeah, new two tone bar tape, new brake levers and hoods.
Here is the bike in it's first iteration as a single speed. This was taken in June.
What a labor of love; can't wait to ride him.
Dateline: Homewood :: Emily got a new road bike
This video does the bike no justice, but suffice to say, it is beautiful and it was a STEAL.
Just another craigslist success story.
Drivers: please use caution when approaching this road bike novice.
Wonder if Emily will be pedaling this as yet unnamed lady during the South Shore triathlon we are considering.
Stop what you are doing and go buy a tandem bike
Jen and I on the bike. Also prominently featured in this photo: my neighbor Ernie's arm. He was riding on the front handlebars, documenting the entire event for posterity.
Also, a video. It appears as though I am biking drunk here. Cars.
King in the castle, king in the castle
Homewood Farmer's Market
Seriously delicious cookies and brownies. Highlights include peanut butter toffee and oddly, chocolate chip. A bit on the spendy side for cookies, but worth it. David and Tracy are pictured.
Ey coffee
Great, local alternative to my favorite, starbucks.
Vio and Penny and our bikes
Don't be an ass and drive to the farmer's market. How far is it really from your place.
