Who wants to ride anyways?
I spoke with Rob the Builder last night for about an hour. I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I talk the person who’s going to be building my bike, and he sounds like he “gets me”. We talk about riding, racing, equipment choices, and life in general. I like the way the bike looks (in my head). It sounds like I will be able to continue my “retarded monkey with ADD” style of riding on the big wheels next year.
NO RIDING THIS WEEKEND??? My wife planned a little trip to the mountains for us, and I won’t be bringing a bike. I might be wrong, but I think this is the first time I have headed west to the mountains without a bike. I guess it’s okay to miss a weekend of riding. I ‘ve heard that other people have done it and lived to tell the tale. I checked around on the internet for tips on surviving through a weekend without a bike. There’s not a lot of info out there on the subject. I am scared.
Other than getting a new bike, the biggest news on the horizon is THE BIG STAMPEDE on Nov 12th. It’s just a bike swap meet, but for a bike whore such as myself it is the opportunity to fill needs I didn’t even know I had. Recumbent tandem? How much? Twenty inch fixed gear BMX? Think of all the fun I could have on that. Not to mention that consumerism keeps us safe from terrorism, right?
Oh well, if you go for a ride this weekend spin the pedals once for me.
Just so you know Dicky. Buying some guy’s used chamois, isn’t the type of consumerism that keeps America safe from freedom haters. Your weekend getaway, on the other hand, should have you consuming enough gas and cracker barrel to keep us safe. For now.
p.s. avoid the gas-house, as I shall be depopulating it. The wal-mart is getting way too crowded.
I think that is “Bob the builder”. I could sing the song for you if that would help to make my case…
me, Unfortunatley for me his real name is Rob. I gotta have all the fun I can at other’s expense.
Bob is his cousin, who is into contractor work and general extortion of home owners.
Your flaming bag of dog poo should be there today. Look before you step.

DON’T DO IT!!! YOU’LL WITHDRAWL AND CONFORM TO THE REST OF SOCIETY’S ILLS!!! (you’ll be driving in no time, sitting watching tv for hours, big box stores will be your church, fast food will be your saviour etc…).
DON’T DO IT!!!
I’ve been bikeless for 2 days - due to rain and sick with this damn flue. I’ve been vegitating infront of the tv and hating every damn minute of it. How people can just park their rear end infront of a tv for hours on end is beyond me. I’m dying to get out for a ride. Then this little voice comes up in the back of my head - go shopping for a big screen tv. No, I have to tell myself. I’m conforming…
Anyhow, sneek yur bike into the trunk tonight and pull it out once she says - “honey, I’m just going to get a bite to eat”… time to bomb off for a quick spin…
Always live with your bike. Never leave its side.
Hey Rich,
