caught spring fever and never looked back

Oh where have you been billy boy...billy boy
I've bee riding every day so bugger off!!!!
Oh man let me tell you the joy of a finely built set of wheels. Eric at cycleworks has really out done himself, these wheels are smooth and tuned. They are a truly awesome. I have ridden pretty much every day since i got them, i had to get new tires cause i wore thru them.
I have doe a couple of other upgrades on my steed. First new Pedals Primo Tenderizers i ca keep my foot vertical almost and not slip off. however i have increased the bear trap rate of injury but thats the price of the pure plat form pedal. i also got a new crank set, old school set from an old Schwinn.
I have biked to work over a year now its been a fun year. I have had some amazing exercise and experiences. i love riding and wish everyone would try it for three months.
to get started try this
get your self a bike mulit tool check out parks website for that, find the one you want ad we'll go to cycleworks and get it.
stuff you should carry
- bike hand pump
- extra tube ( the size you need is on the side of your tire it should be 2X-XX the x's are the size of your tire)
- tire levers! makes changing the tube so much faster.
- multi tool
- duct tape ( wrap it around a pen the keep it i your bag .... it fixes everything)
also once its gets crazy hot ride with a change of clothes for when you get to work its cool to be the guy that rides its not cool to be the stinky guy that rides ; )
hope this helps a little,
peace
bill
