Must have just missed you, I stopped by Bikenetic too and saw Pete and culimerc there! Sorry to hear about the dent.

You’re a mensch, Dickie!

(just want we need, foreigners roaming our trails telling us Ahmeerikans how to cycle!)

That’s such a bummer.

That being said, I would like to think any ding to your metal or carbon bikes should push you one step closer to buidling wood bikes, and that I think is worth celebrating! So here’s to the story that starts Dickie’s new bike company!

Yep…. the picture makes it look worse than it really is. It’s only about 5mm long, 1mm wide, and 3mm deep, Hopefully more cosmetic than anything, but my OCD is raging.

Is that sticker like a bandage to cover the dent and add structural integrity?

Was not stellar last night. Got a flat in front of the Lincoln Memorial at which point Glargon Lord of Sky Tears decided to rain more of his despair down upon me. The culprit – a fricking shark tooth – EXPLAIN THAT ONE SCIENCE!

2 explanations

1. Some poor Touron kid is missing his trip souvenir.
2. #waroncars trap setup by sharks

The Sharks didn’t want the Jets that are always flying into Dirt’s head to have all the fun.

Due to some changes of plan involving rain, and some forgetfulness, I ended up with more clothes at work than I wanted, so for the first time I took a full set of clothes including shoes in my backpack along with me on the evening commute. Despite that I felt good on the hills, though a LOT of people passed me on the Mason Bridge. Never saw so many cyclists at the Pentagon bus station before – besides me, I noted five others.

bad news – first time I’d looked at my bike since my spill on Friday (I had left it at work all week) and it was not completely unscathed – some very visible scratches on the left shifter, some more minor ones on the right shifter and the bell.

Lots and lots of bikes on the trails on the home commute which was really good to see. Even better is that with the enhanced numbers, most were considerate of both their fellow riders and other users of the trails. And the warm temperatures were kind to my old bones.
