Git Ur Read on

Bike Portland... gone Crossin? Sweet!

PEZ's Coach Josh has a bit of some metaphysical mumbo jumbo that sort of actually makes sense.

If my siblings are trendy, will it rub off on me? Little Sis has moved to Astoria in 'The City' and my little bro down in Philli is wanting to get a fixie so he can put his fancy Time pedals on it and wear his fancy Sidi shoes. He's one of the few people i know who actually need a bike to go with their shoes and pedals. He's going fixie. I can't believe it. But if yogurt boy is doing it... maybe it is okay? Nah. But fixie or SS or billions of gears or just a coaster brake, the fact that he's getting on a bike (again) is wicked damn cool. I kinda gave up hope of convincing him that a cross bike is the new hip way to go. Thing is. He's the one who knows hip. Knows what is going on. If he wants fixie? Fixie ain't going nowhere.

How the hell did i miss Issue #3 of Urban Velo Damn it. Well that'll wrap up the "Git Ur Read on" section for today.

Ah well. Time to go take some pictures on the coolest of cool microscopes. The Scanning Electron Microscope. I think honestly it is the one i love the most. Mostly because getting a good image takes a fair bit of skill, but the results are remarkable and eye catching as well as pure awesome art.

peace
