Alright, so all I do anymore is ride bikes. I just wait for Tori to need to go get cigarettes at the store so I have somewhere to ride, it’s that bad.

I drove into the office today to get my blue bike and brought Wendell’s older mountain bike down here for storage/a spare. Our garage had nine bikes in it this morning somehow.

Wendell, Hannah and I rode over to Seward Park to go swimming and it turned out to be bike day there. I think it was sponsored  by Cascade Bicycle Club / Group Health. I lost my chain while pedaling through the parking lot and took an awesome spill. Nothing broken but a few dents and cuts really. The folks there gave me a cute little bandage kit and I borrowed a bike tool to tighten some things up. I lost the chain twice more on the way home across capitol hill.

I did some reading when I got home. The rear has a quick release so it’s hard to get the chain taught right. The red bike is a single speed with 40/18. The chainline isn’t straight though so I’m wondering if I should buy a new wheel with a flipflop in July and try out one side with a fixed gear since I’ve been having so much fun with the single speed.

I think I’m going to try to get some sleep now. I’ve been putting that off because it’s still really hot inside. If this doesn’t work out I’m sleeping in the basement or the garage.
