    FBR - 09.11.09 3 days ago

    I rode LL’s bike into town.
    It’s rather small and I had
    to put the seat way up.

    LL is a short arse very petit
    and cute and her bike is correspondingly
    petit and cute. Fortunately there is no
    basket and ribbons on the handlebars.

    I rode to the race bike specialists
    and locked LL’s bike out front.
    The guys were watching me with
    half-grins from inside. I went in
    and started throwing technical jargon
    around like I had an armful of Frisbees
    and one of the wrenches asked me cautiously
    if I really wanted to put TT brake levers
    on my bike. Uh, that’s actually my wife’s
    bike, I said. Ha! Ha! He looked relieved; he
    was worried there for a minute I think.

    Crazy American waves arms around in the
    shop wanting weird shit done and rides off
    on this toy bike with his knees up to his
    ears when he pedals.

    Report: The worst blowout ever 1 month ago

    I borrowed a bike to ride to work and the side
    wall of the rear tyre was so rotten that when I hit
    a small pothole it blew out and blew off the clincher
    rim and the tube went into the cassette under the chain.

    I had to carry it to the bike shop. They were amused.

    I bought two new tyres
    (folding bead) that were
    on sale at the local shop.

    I threw my old Michelin’s
    away and took the new Bontragers
    for a 25K ride. I was flying
    down a hill at about 60km and
    ZAP! a yellowjacket got in my
    jersey and stung me about an
    inch under my right nipple – ouch.

    I finally stopped and pulled the
    squirming bee and its stinger &
    poison sac out of me and engaged
    in some creative cursing and rode
    home.

    25km
    21 ounces water
    3rd bee sting on bike
    this year so far – not
    as bad as the one right by
    my left eye.

    Rode to the ferry landing
    and bought a coffee. Watched
    the cars drive off the ferry
    and tried to see how far the
    waterline came up.

    Yes sir! Orcas Island excitement
    on a Tuesday evening. Zonino!
