80 km on my single speed, day before Easter (so I spent Sunday taking it easy). It wasn't real "ride", I actually had two different ride-dates with my friends! The first one involved screwing...

They only had one pink! I like hot pink too. No idea what the model is.



Purple type: Prince, and poison type pokemon.



Ah! That reminds me of my friend! So we need to get Mike a new...

Oh, this colour has SO much gender-specific baggage attached to it. I feel like I'm buying into all that crap when I buy it, I feel like I'm supporting the stereotype. But I like it, and I firmly...

Oh, that is sad.

All I can do is send hopeful thoughts your way, hopefully your bike will be found.

They had me on one of those adjustable bike fit machines and everything.

Ah, I know I'm coming off as a little defensive too, but in part because I'm still trying to convince myself that I deserve...

I'm sure, it's a spring. Nothing is stripped, it's a brand new seat post that I've only adjusted a few times. I wasn't the person who discovered it was broken, it was good LBS guy, and he's been a...

It's worse now, even shorter stem and the seat was lowered (I like super high, but that isn't good for me)
bike looks friggin' ridiculous now, like, even if it does sort-of-work for me I'm...

Who here doesn't love a good story?

So, I went back to bad LBS because they said they'd make it right, and I figured one last fit wouldn't hurt before giving up completely. I was wrong.
...

awwww you're lucky to have so many little cutie pies where you live!

My bike woes have not gone away, they were just put on the back burner. But now all distractions are gone, and I have to face the soma once again.

I gave up on the original LBS. At the end I...

I'm a total bra heathen. My size is....medium, lol.

I was doing some traveling a while ago, and wanted a bra that I could sleep in (for the train)/wash easily/wear for maybe a few days straight...

oooo I can relate to this so much. I've been biking every day for over a year - up some pretty steep hills, 9km a day for my work commute. Stopped buying bus passes. I haven't lost any weight XD
...

oh, I'm positive it's 10cm. He wasn't measuring the stem, he was measuring from saddle to drop bars. The apollo was never fitted, but if it has too much of a reach I don't feel it. I had an 80km...

I wish I knew more about numbers. The DC is the 52cm frame, no idea how the apollo would compare. I would say the DC is more stable though, comparatively. I went to party on the weekend on the...

New tires might help, I'm actually going to switch tires (wheel sets?) before I go through with the frame switch. The smoothie can't take 32's and fenders anyway. I think the DC is going to look...

After trying really hard with the double cross, I'm terminating the relationship. I'm just not happy on that sluggish thing . Not to say that the DC is sluggish - I bet that thing would rip up...

It's 52 I think, my comfortable bike is 53 and I can't physically stand over it if I'm not wearing shoes. I don't think I can go bigger. Which is one less thing to worry about, honestly. If I...

After a month in the shop, I get a call saying my bike is ready. I show up and have to wait 15 minutes for them to put the bar tape back on, and when I get home I realize they didn't even put air in...

or worth it's weight in grief if they're bad fitters. Read reviews online before you commit.

Signed,
the bitter voice of experience.

cool, I think you should accessorize with a cool little mixte to bomb around town in XD

But really, that dress is super cute!

I had plans for a 40km ride on Sunday, but the night before I went to lantern festival with my friend. She had finally decided to get a bike....how about tomorrow?

yup.

So, I road a few cities...

ooooh, it is terrible I pictured *actual*, little-kid training wheels on that thing? The mental imagery was just to good not to picture (can you tell I'm not a roadie?)

I'm excited for you and...

on the subject of marketing women athletes based on their looks instead of talent, there's this article:

Ah, what a world we live in.

worst bike shop: You may have heard me complain about my soma? Worst bike shop likes to say "you'll get used to it" when I have a problem, rather than listen to me. They're ~experts~ you see. ...

it's honestly a last ditch effort to get this to work.

One difference between beater & soma is that beater, being a single speed, has small hoods. On the Soma, I keep wanting to pull my hands...
