  1. Niiiiice! Very good job piecing this rocket together. Do you plan on riding it fixed or free?

    Fingers crossed for good weather for Spooks On Spokes. The SS/Fixed category should have quite a few people.

  2. I rode it in today fixed. First time "riding" fixed. Had a couple of close calls, but over all a good fun time. It has a flip-flop hub so I'll probably ride it either way, depends on my mood.

  3. Fixed is fun, and when I rode that way I used primarily back-force to slow down rather than skid stops. It's fairly easy to slow down without skidding and doesn't jack my knees up as much. I always ride Free now out of ease.

What this is about...

It is me making commentary on life as I wade through, trying to avoid the sink holes. Maybe you'll laugh; maybe I will offend, or maybe you will just sit back and think….

I'm not trying to change my world... just survive it.
