Cop pulled me over on my road bike last night for running a red light, even though I stopped and waited for the green for a good 60-90 seconds before taking the left. I am guessing he thought I came straight through the light and did not turn. I always stop at red lights and am like the only roadie in town who actually does. Figures. I had a hard time finding the balance between being respectful to the officer and explaining to him what a stupid inbred clownfucker he is. He didn't give me a ticket, but I can do without being stopped for being a perfectly law abiding citizen.

Chris Rock has a great educational video about how to deal with getting pulled over by the police. Might be helpful to watch. :thumb:

Mornin!

Gonna go for a hike in Big Sky today. Should be awesome, cause hiking is cool and it’s Wednesday and I’m not at work.

Also watched someone hit a concrete lamp post at the Starbucks drivethrough. No reason for it, they just hopped the curb and mashed their front bumper.

One of my tenants called and said the power was out and I needed to fix it. Called employee and he said another tenant called and the power company said four hours. So back to bed as there’s no rush to get to a dark office (double wide) and sit there with no internet or ac.

Hello all. Nothing much on the docket today. This is good because we're getting up before the ass-crack of dawn tomorrow to go fishing.

whew, bicycle wheelwarehouse has some nice deals
:brows:
Are they real? Their lack of any capitalization is setting off wtf flags in my head.
co-worker bought wheels from them, and they arrived like expected
http://www.bdopcycling.com is similar, but you can get wheel build kits (everything you need to make a wheel, hubs, spokes nips, tape etc). they also have a bunch of older standards that are hard to find elsewhere, like 130mm spaced road disc hubs. edit: disclaimer i have not bought from them, but am considering a second wheelset for my cross bike

Bushwhacking today? Where's the trail on the other side of the bridge? Does it lead to Tarabithia?

even though I stopped and waited for the green for a good 60-90 seconds before taking the left.
Is it a timed light or pressure/ electro activated?

they arrived like expected
Pre-taco'd? Expectations are different between people so that reply is inconclusive.

are there any good solutions for going from presta to air compressor? I am not a fan of using those crappy little schrader to presta adapters.

Yo! Had a great bday with my guys yesterday. Spent the afternoon by the river with the boy, then sent him to soccer and celebrated it also being national margarita day with the hubby all evening. Hubby got me bar tape for the road bike, hand grips for the mtb, and bike shorts.... I love the theme! Also enjoyed a pre rolled fatty with all the fixins on the deck under the stars and a big maple for a night cap. ‘‘‘Twas a spectacular day! Now... let’s go test out those hand grips....
