Life without motorcars seems, these days, a bit of a better proposal than life with those stupid, insurance-milking, over-depreciated, gas-hounding autos we sit in to go from point A to point B and back, over and over.
So, i decided to ride a bike once in awhile. Now that it's spring, the heck with it. I dug out the fixie i converted from an old, 1980s chromoly ten-speed i "borrowed" from a cousin- one gear, no freewheel...it's the coolest. Since this photo, i sandblasted a smaller Raleigh Pursuit frame and painted it candy apple red. BE sure to whistle when you see me cruise past on my phat, gas-free ride.
i can almost do a track stand, too. About five seconds worth! It looks killer at reds lights.
