I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things.
Lech Walesa (1943 -)

Life is like a ten speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.
Charles M. Schulz (1922 - 2000)

When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race.
H. G. Wells (1866 - 1946)

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

I should use one a day but... i'm kinda more like dump, here it all is absorb it.

Solobreak has a nice itemized comment regrading my power musings. watts/kg... i must be slow being so damn big... at least i'm less than 100kg, for now, just not by much. I had found a similar link here "Bicycle Speed and Power Calc" and there's another one that... here just found... damn its hard to keep track of stuff. I know i have it in my bookmarks, but three browser imports later and 250 bookmarks or there abouts - its easier to find a link with google... And yeah.. this one... these guys ... I like em CPTips... If ya haven't browsed over there and ya ride a little.. give it a looksee...

Came across a guy i've seen on numerous occasions on the bike. He was headed up the hill as i turned in... chatted for a bit... he's on a nice fixie... Fuji trackbike... and i mentioned that Fixie is too trendy for me. EVERYONE has a fixed gear bike, so to stay counter culture i'm riding this -the paramount... He did bring up a good point. If you are riding a fixie as a commuter, AND wearing a helment, AND not doing stupid shit on the bike... then... its okay. Maybe i should get a fixie... could be bitching fun... maybe...

I've got those 180mm suntor XC Pro cold forged cranks kickin around... down side is my 1x1 hub is built up on a 26" wheel... maybe its time to give up that wheel... might be better to liquidate that whole built wheel (its very nice... and will take any offer through here first)... and then get a nice hub or build up something else... not focusing on that right now though...

At least its something to keep me thinking... and thinking - i do to much thinking sometimes and not enough doing...

Oil Fired Furnaces with Steam heat are inefficient money pits... 100 gallons in 3 weeks... 3 freaking weeks! I love this cold but that's like two sets of Campy Delta Brakes! Or 17 30 packs of Miller High Life or PBR!!! At least i caught it before the damn tank went dry...

So sitting here waiting on the snowstorm... hoping that they don't have early dismissal...and hoping now that it warms up enough that we can go back to the slightly more efficient and cheaper option that the gas on gas stove gives us....

i gotta get some good salt crusted images of the bike uploaded sometime... maybe before this snow washes all the salt off...
