My Bike!

HEY! This is my bike!



She used to look like THIS but now she doesn't.

I'm SO pumped on how it came out. I decided that I wanted flat black EVERYTHING. So I've been slowly painting my bike since last summer. The other day I did the final thing, I painted my rims. Its only spray paint for car detailing that I purchased at Auto Zone but it seems to be holding alright. Though I know it wont last forever. Im already aware that my brake is going to peel away the whole side wall but it what can you do? Eventually I'll be able to start saving money for actual black parts but this will suffice for now.

Im VERY excited to ride it CONSTANTLY. Living in the city is what I need. Living in Woonsocket didnt do much for me bikewise. Bike paths alone got boring and I only rode with Mark maybe, once. When your only close by friend works 50% of his life and sleeps the other 50% you can't get much done in the buddy system department. Now I'll be able to ride everyday and probably with friends! I'll save gas and get a good work out. ALL positive things!

Now all I need is a good sunny summer. Unlike last years rain fest, bummer summer 09! Worst!

See you on the streets!

BIKES!

Today was a very boring Saturday, like, really boring. It's quarter to 8 at night and I havent even showered yet. Thats what kind of day its been. Whatching Chuck & Larry for the 100th time. I really just wanted to make a post to just make one, since it is something to do.

Thats my bike! Its a green Mercier Kilo TT and its awesome. Shes my brakeless fixed gear princess. I got it in July. Ordered it from bikes direct for $350. Well worth it! Thank you stimulous check! I havent utalized it as much as I would have liked to. No cool bike hang outs with friends that have bikes too, no long rides, pretty much nothing. I rode around my city late at night for a month or two then just kinda got lazy. Id like to get in a good ride before it becomes winter.

A new bike path opened up in Woonsocket, after about a week of saying that I should check it out, I finally did today. Although it is very nice, it is EXTREMELY short. like, almost not even enjoyable. I cant even haul ass for more than 30 seconds before I have to start slowing down. It wasnt all too busy with pedestrians and small children, so it was nice. I know that there are a bunch of other paths to ride, so id like to get together with some people and hit the Cranston one or another one that is lengthy. I like to ride REALLY fast for pretty much forever.

so, yeah, thats about it really!
