    Suggesting Mario crossed my mind as well. There’s so many characters to choose from. It’d be really cool to turn a bike into Bullet Bill or more ambitiously, Yoshi.

    We were talking about that this morning at HDCC and there was a bit of ambivalence about the ghostbusters theme.

    Steve-O perhaps you should show the new ghostbusters at your next movie night, it seems like a lot of people in this crowd haven’t seen it yet.

    Thanks for posting that, I’ve kind of been itching to replace my bike’s frankensteined fenders lately and you can’t beat $37 for full fenders not made of plastic.

    Mups or anywhere else, if you are careening through life faster than those around you, and instead of modifying your own behavior you are expecting them to consider what you are doing behind them, you are being a dumbass.

    I haven’t ridden through there in a few months, but the path around the southeast side of the lagoon is not connected. Somebody throws wooden pallets every couple of years to act like a bridge over the worst marshy/ravine parts of the dirt track through the weeds, but that is not something most commuters are interested in riding through I’d wager.

    You can ride through LBJ and around the pentagon via Boundary channel/ the connector road & parking lot there, and it’s fine, but the routing isn’t obvious getting around the metro bus station exit and you have to deal with the pentagon’s crossing guards, who are not happy campers.

    I like the idea.

    I’m dressing as the sexy secretary from the 2016 movie though, I deserve it.

    I’ve seen a Lumberjack ambling round these parts, maybe I can give him a holler ?

    I just got done with a set of Maxxis Ramblers size 40. Almost exactly 4000 miles on em, probably not more than 200 miles of which was on gravel trails (lol sorry)
    They are tubeless ready tires but the bike came with tubes installed so I rolled with it that way.
    Tread on them still LOOKS fine and I quite liked their feel on and off the street, no problem keeping up with road bikes despite being noisy, but I got a flat every 500 miles or so from pretty rinky-dink road debris like miniscule shards of glass or mystery causes.

    I got tired of the regular flats so today I’m moving on to tubeless Donnellys after Bill recommended them. I’ll review them after another 4000 miles or so?

    *Edit Just after riding the Donnelly ush tires home on the roads I can feel a big difference in how stayed and comfy these tires are over the ramblers, like getting out of a jeep and into a land rover. I like it.

    They’ve also had a steel plate there for a few weeks. There used to be a cone there (because cones fix everything) but I don’t recall seeing it lately. The edge of the plate is strategically placed about half-way into the bike lane. Luckily, with the bike lane full o’ pedestrians (usually the construction workers themselves at my time of morning), you’ll be out in the traffic lane anyway.

    I think the guy who sleeps on the path south of the Georgetown waterfront took the cone, so people stop running over his head in the dark, which as far as that goes is not a bad outcome.

    I like their website redesign. It’s complicated but seems to work well.

    I am not on track for my 9,999 pints of beer goal, gotta step my game up.

    So there were probably around 20 Frozémon hanging out around hains point for the final night party, and even the most visible seem to have been missed. Now that the closing ceremony has been postponed that means hunters have another few days to go out and get whatever has survived the storm!
