Irony

I had a good week of riding to work, including Bike To Work Day. 18+ miles each way, fixed, every single day. Flipped one guy off, flirted with a car full of cute girls, and had a nice woman offer to throw away the nail I picked up at a traffic light.

I figured out how to successfully and safely enter Rohnert Park from the North (use the inside turn lane, because every single person in the outside turn lane is getting on the freeway).

Bike to Work Day started with hearing a fellow manning the coffee station sharing his opinions. See if you can fill in the blanks.

Die the leather yourself. And the cork to match. Brilliant advice from Mr. Matchak.

Just about 25% larger than life.

I painted this little watercolor last night instead of riding my bike. It’s about 4″ across, on gessoed panel.

I’d trade my car for this bike…

If I win the Powerball tonight, I’m buying it.

** Stolen Bike ** New Dove bars



** Stolen Bike ** Dove bars, originally uploaded by BikeTinker.


This bike was stolen out of my back yard near the end of last week March 4 or 5, near downtown Santa Rosa CA.

Luckily, they left much nicer bikes behind, but unluckily, this is a friend’s bike!

I’d JUST finished the new bar setup for her, with new shifters (courtesy of super nice internet friends), new Dove bars from the Rivendell Garage Sale, and new cables bought at retail from the Bike Peddler.

Bleah.

Santa Rosa makes it super-easy to file a report online, and I encouraged my neighbor to report the bike he’d had stolen the week before.
