new rule: bike tools

xtra wheels Originally uploaded by faster panda kill kill.
when the world as we know it collapses, its the people with bike tools that will be kings and queens. bikes will become the main mode of transportation and people with tools and mechanical knowledge will be revered. i gotta start acquiring tools. but for now, i ride over to whit's house.

when i was changing out the new wheels the other morning, trying to hurry so i could ride it to work....i see i have a problem.

shoot.

that cog goes over on that wheel now. durn. so yesterday i loaded up and headed over to whit's lair...i mean workshop. he took care of it in a jiffy.

into whit's lair
and he was handsomely rewarded with vegan chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. i got a glimpse of the newest frame he's building for our friend brian in KY. i'll post it up later.

OH TONITE! fun times on Guadalupe. TURD THURSDAY lots of the shops will be open late with food and music too along the road. jeff, the 16mm film guy, will be showing a film about John Howard’s Race Across America called Psychling along with a whole bunch of schocky xmas stuff, cartoons, etc. outside of Waterloo Cycles starting at 8PM.

sounds fun. bundle up and ride yo bikes.

I want to ride your surf bike. On the surf part.

True about the tools... Have you ever been in a bike shop when somebody brings in a flat tire to be repaired? It's hard not to snicker. Although I'm afraid I might not survive in the new world order if I have to rebuild suspension components. Maybe I should hoard rigid forks now while there is still time...
