Road trip!
I should think about it.
Especially considering that I was so busy ogling someone's fixie conversion on the bike rack this morning at work, that I turned around and walked straight into a pole that really had to have been like 3 inches from me.
oooh! Party, my house!
You just want to show off your pretty new kitchen :)Quote:

No, no. I'm very respectful of bikes. I don't fair as well for coordination for myself, however. Except for my surly's rear tire/wheel. It had a flat on the rear yesterday. Again. Except I had taken the frame pump off to put the bike on my car, and hadn't thought to put it back to take it to work with me because it's only a mile or two to work. So I checked all the other bikes in the bike racks and noone had a pump I could borrow, so I walked home to get mine.Quote:

He had a camelbak with nothing in it (*boggle*)
We tried the patches first, but they weren't self stick & I didn't have glue. Oops. Then we put in the spare innertube. During all this, 3 cyclists pass to ask if we need any help... no, we're fine.
So he starts pumping up the spare innertube, which was one of those long vale tubes for deep dish rims, and then the long valve snaps off.
At this point, no cyclists are passing us to offer us spare innertubes or patches, so he took my rear wheel & road back to get the car.
Then we went hiking instead.
And spent however long fixing rear wheels that night - got my surly wheel flat & true, pumped it up, set it aside, worked on his wheels, and then the surly innertube explodes.
Surly rear wheels do not like me.
So if anyone has a surly, we should lock it out of my reach.
Cool! Lots of "stupid bike accessories" and the consumers who use them! ;)
No, this is not Interbike.
... and you have been to how many NAHBSs ?
Huh, I didn't realize this. I figured it was more like a museum, where you look and ooh and aah and maybe dream about someday ordering a custom bike. I didn't know I'd actually be able to buy stupid bike accessories. Cool!Quote:

What else could you possibly need aside from this?
Getting close! The local bike club, RABA, will be hosting an urban ride on Friday evening, so bring your lights if you come. There seems to be alot of excitement about the show. I'm really looking forward to it.
I bought a ticket for Saturday. Anybody want to carpool down to Richmond with me?
2more days!! I have 5 people, and at least 7 bikes, staying at my house. DB, you know how small my house is...gonna be interesting. I'll keep a lookout for you.
Oooooo.
Ted Wojcik is going to be there!
Cool.
Uh, how is that going to be possible? Sleeping bags on the floor, I guess.Quote:

Hey DB, is that offer still on the table? I don't have a ticket because I thought I might be riding on Saturday but that ain't (sic) happening with this wind. If you're only going for the day and have the room, I could help with gas. Also, do you think it'd be possible to get in without a ticket?Quote:

7Rider and your DH - Thanks again for the ride to Richmond for the bike show. I had a good time. Enjoyed the company of DivingBiker, as well. Tulip, nice putting a face to a name (Avatar).
