Here we are in shiny new 2008 wow what a year it is gonna be ahhhhh. So last week we started our rides but unfortunately due to heavy rain fall only got one ride in last week boooo, but this weekend another bike was added to the stables. On Sunday Zak and I went and picked up a 1990 Miyata we found on craigslist, it was beautiful the frame was in almost perfect condition so what did we do??? We made a FIX GEAR the crowd goes wild. It took us a half day of running down parts and cleaning it up but I am now the proud owner of my first fix gear. I will post pictures later of the bike. So what do you do with a new bike??? You ride it to work and that is what I did, today was the first work commute of the year and hopefully not the last. One thing is certain though it is the most enjoyable and cold thing you can ever do. So go ride your bikes more and Stay tuned ![]()

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackNice job on the fixie ride to work. Was it scary or exhilarating? That is usually how my fixed gear rides go one or the other. Did the rear cog come spinning off the hub in a fit of joy? BTW those new all condition specialized tires must be made of old scotch tape they pick up everything on the road and ping every grain of sand off of my downtube.
The ride was great, the hardest part was trying to start after a stop. Other than that it was very exhilarating and my rear cog wanted to fly off but I talked it out of that lol.
