Going Faster Miles An Hour

[roadrunnertwice]

Hi! I'm Nick, a city boy with a wee twenty-some-year-old Schwinn Worldsport rekitted into a single-speed. It is light, it is fast, it is resilient, it doesn't look particularly theftworthy, it is a ridiculous teal color, its name is Brigadelle, and it is the only bike that has ever truly fit me like a glove. It is my Epic Mount.

I like to tl;dr about learning how to repair and maintain crap, because learning how to repair and maintain crap is awesome. For example: I learned how to do basic wheel truing last week! ( Vulcan logic dictated that I ride around on the train both ways at rush hour carrying a naked bicycle wheel. )

Riding around in the Pacific Northwest rain

In a comment on my introductory post, foxfirefey suggested I post something about how I manage commuting all winter long in a rainy climate.

I replied that ha-ha-ha, I mostly just get wet, but that's not as flip an answer as it seems.
