Dr is just going to make you take the underwear off anyway. I go commando with the rip away pants from my day job. Faster appointments now. Every bike mechanic skill I know I picked up in the 80s working on my GT. All I had and all I needed was a can of WD40 a screwdriver and an adjustable wrench. Don't let me near your bike.

Wife did a beer run to HEB. Good job wife, good job.

The whole nunchuck argument reminded me of this.

Put them on all the bikes after having bits of decomposed granite flung up at me. Protects my pretty face and to a lesser degree the fork stanchions from dirt and debris.

I saw that one and this one almost back to back the other day and it made me question everything I've ever done with my life.

'The new toilet paper:' Bikes are flying off shelves, overwhelming shops: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/02/tech/bike-boom-pandemic/index.html I hope all of our favorite shops are getting some of this love.

Helmets cool fine on flats and downhill sure but uphill with a slight tailwind. Even the modern ones I want to yeet when it's over 90 and I've got no wind.

Helmets have been required for a while now. Not sure when exactly late 90's early 00's IDK. I remember a few deaths in the tour and maybe other classics that made everyone rethink the rules.

So it's not just me creeping on everyone's Strava rides? 😎 Like @Tree Magnet said i'ts public social media I wouldn't it's that strange to comment on.

ATX bike lot is probably your best bet with easy trails all around that area. We start at the trails behind the veloway. Park across from the wildflower center and there is a trail right at the end of the road. Mostly mellow stuff all along the creek and easy access to the VCT. Dick Nichols Park is another option for parking. Paved 2 mile loop, an inner dirt loop that is very mellow and more VCT connections to stuff north south and more trails to the west.

ATT user. Have good coverage. Keep phone in the pack or pockets. Pockets w/ zippers FTW. 5G doesn't spread the 'rona. 5G will talk to the nano-bots Bill Gates is putting in the vaccine. Wake up sheeple /s <-- sad that I feel I need to include this.

Took apart my first BB this weekend. I could see the press fit cups had gaps between the frame and there was some creaking going on. Took apart all the threaded pieces pressed the cups back flush cleaned greased and reassembled. I can't tell that I did any damage so far. The beater bike lives another day.

I'm sitting over here not working now playing guess the trail.

We can always mark a 2.0 segment. I'd say do it just for the erosion issue.

I've got one of those pop up deals. It has tried to run away at least half the times I have used it. What I end up doing is tying a cooler to one of the legs. It's not going anywhere without taking all the beer with it. I swear one time it got close though. Could have been Christmas for someone wherever the wind gave out.

yay pizza!

I don't like this trend but if it continues can we charge 1 six-pack for every muddy bike that comes out at the parking lot behind ATX? The article mentions nudity & drug use. Where? Where exactly should I be avoiding?

I've got bike maintenance items waiting on some parts coming in the mail tomorrow so at least one more day for me.

Strava comments are saying it should be mostly good with some wet spots today. Haven't been able out to check personally but I'm also curious. We got a lot of rain the other day.

I feel personally attacked. And that's probably fair.

Not something strange I witnessed but accidentally participated in. I ordered the weekly "I'm not cooking tonight" and when the guy was handing over the pizzas I grabbed too far up the box and must have snagged some of his glove. I didn't notice until I had pulled a bit and it made a loud snap like you never want to hear over your shoulder at the Dr's office. Anyway because I'm awkward AF I said "almost got ya" and shut the door. That was a fun day.

+1 for Hope brakes. Best brakes I ever had were the X2s on my Pivot. I ended up acquiring more bikes with Shimano mineral oil brakes so I've unified on that platform. If I get rid of one or two bikes I'd consider upgrading the fleet back to hope tech.

Same thing I do every day Pinkey: Short the market and drink.
