… was obnoxious.

I too had a wooden-bridge-wipeout, when I tapped the front brake and lost the front wheel. And even though I fell on my left side, my right hand seems to have taken the worst of it, at the very spot that I rest it on when typing or mousing.

AND THEN, my front tire went flat. My mini-pump managed to freak out a dog, though. That was neat.

Ack! I missed the chance to show off haulin some Costco wares with the trailer+fixie combo!

Oh man.

Yes, it’s essentially just a carboniferous Fargo, but on the other hand, it’s a carboniferous Fargo.

We’ll see. I changed the hubs to black after seeing my flashy road wheels which have a black hub a red nips and look bling. Plus kayakcyndi is rockin’ orange nips on her otherwise black wheels and they look bling too.

I have red nipples on the Colossal’s wheels. +2 speed, +3 spiffyness.

After multiple days of less than 6h of sleep, I’m tired when I’m stationery, but as I discovered this morning, totally fine on the bike. Lesson learned: never get off bike.

How does this impact N as it relates to S?

I was briefly very disturbed by this question, because N and S are, appropriately enough, the initials of myself and my eye-rolling, definitely-not-partner-in-bike-drooling female human cohabitant respectively. Though I did get upgraded to s-2 when the possibility of a vintage Cannondale came up.

This is so purdy. I’d have a fleet of Salsas, if I had my way.

Will you be bringing it to pancake club so we can drool over it?

Is there a rent?

Though you really need a politician or comedian of some description. Writers come home and mull and then think “Oh, that’s clever. I should’ve used that.”

I had 10 seconds behind him on the second sister, but couldn’t think of what to say, so I said nothing. So that I’m ready next time, what should I have said?

Maybe you should’ve just laughed your head off.

Or “Try pedaling a little. Really helps.”

Or “Man, hills, amirite?”

What shoes? I’ve been hoarding good platform-pedal shoes, because there are too many that look like skateboard kid shoes.

I’m out of town on Friday, but if this is officially becoming A Thing, I’m in for random Fridays.

He’s a bicycle cop, BTW. Not kidding; I see him all over Falls Church City.

I think I’ve only seen a Falls Church bike cop once, telling off a driver at the WOD+Grove intersection.

My brain just borked.

Definitely not Bikenetic. The officer got annoyed and kept moving them back several (many?) times.

Wot.

To what end? Prove by any means necessary that cycling is unsafe?
