This is what I've been doing too, so I have to go even further to motivate myself for exercise. Like mountain biking or something or something of that sort.

I'll do this for 2 or 3 weeks then have a light week with 3 or 4 days of rest and the rest of the days be easy rides.

Since collegiate road season ended I haven't really touched my bike much so hopefully with a month or so with this training plan I'll get out to some public races in the area. Though this training is really to keep me in shape/increase my performance for cyclocross season. mmmm... I can't wait.

I wish i had that much time
that's like a second job! good for you

and you use clip pedals, when its fixed... did you say it was a dual fixed?

worrd, that's what i miss about my hometown: you can get everywhere you want/need to go on your bike. back in high-school, in the summer me and my buddies would bike like all-day everyday. even worked delivering scrips for a local pharmacy..
i haven't had a bike since i moved up her to toronto, but i'm supposed to be getting some new wheels this sunday . i'll keep you guys posted.

happy riding,

Herb.

ps--> i've been thinking about getting a used cruiser.. don't really care if it's mens or womens-- i never got why the 'womens' ones are womens' anyway, as the top-bar angle makes it easier for me and my HUUUUUUUGE balls to saddle up.

[Parallax]

you guys are weak, i bike everywhere i go, year round. i even cut off a cop car once on my bike.

i miss my batavus

[SpankyMcLankey]

pictures from my usual bike ride(today). I went in the morning today though.

I get this high EVERYDAY. and higher sometimes.



^yes it haz troutz in it.


you can see the road between those trees



^its like that the whole way down, and some times the way down seams longer than the way up. because all you're thinking about is going back down.

[herbinator45]

new wheeeelz
already got some new schwalbe marathon plus treads, just got to put them on later today.. already rides real smoothe, DUDER i got it from tuned it up UBER nice-- stripped the bike down and built it up with solid parts.

[SpankyMcLankey]

awesome fenders man!!! I love it!

you gonna think about replacing that kick stand?

[herbinator45]

took the kickstand off about an hour after i got it home. got my new tires on, and sucker's riding smoother than a $500 bike

[Weedwax]

Nice bikes everybody. Biking definitely is really addicting. I just got this puppy yesterday after my last Schwinn Del Mar beach cruiser was stolen by some dickless bastard. She rides like smooth as silk...

[herbinator45]

old beater cruisers for the wins

[herbinator45]

i painted mine green and silver [oscar the grouch], got it all tuned up,, even got the wheels trued and bracket adjusted and shiz. rides better than new.

i really want to convert it to a 3 speed ...

[Weedwax]

^Pics?

[herbinator45]

i posted a pic pre-paint job

[SpankyMcLankey]

oh that's neat. wellll what's it look like nao?

[Mango]

just bought this - Shimano Ultegra SL RD-6600 SS Rear Derailleur Double

[herbinator45]

i'm getting rid of my derailleur. getting a 3-speed hub and wheel and converting my bike from a 6-speed to a 3-speed. priced it out yesterday, and should be more than doable under a bill.

fuck derailleurs. fuck derailleurs and their stupid asses.
