Just went to watch "Air", meh, 5/10.
I'd rather watch a documentary version instead.
Work was easy, but the work truck looks like a bomb hit it on the inside.

MAJOR SCORE: one of my clients just gave me a bag of home made tamales. some are chicken some are pork. I know what I am having for breakfast
Trying to find some presta valve cores and a couple of headset spacers. Think I've got any amongst my 20 years of parts collecting? Think again.
Torn between building up the RFX again as a bike path/backup trail bike, or leaving it apart for posterity. Only got 1 set of 26" wheels and one 1 1/8" suspension fork on hand, otherwise I'd build both the RFX and the Transam and bask in the awesomeness.
Friderp. Should be easy day, might swap out the winter wheels on the car later.
Gloves go on your hands.
hopefully a light work day with a morning ride. I have a fork for this noble purpose.
I went from SPDs to flats, and am now trying to reduce footwear to as close to barefoot as possible. We will see how it works. So far they're just fine.Friderp. Should be easy day, might swap out the winter wheels on the car later.

Save for helmet, I don't do armour.
Oh? Do tell.

Toe protection, but also the shoe stiffness. Soles that are too flexible make my feet hurt after a while.
That's because we wear shoes that cause foot musculature to atrophy.

true. I'm still on spuds but am a lover of barefoot style shoes for general life. I just always worry about my little piggies in close proximity to rocks.

currently shopping for new new front derailleurs but also wondering if I should just try to get my weird shit to work
Sure, but supporting your body weight on a bicycle pedal for hours at a time isn't the same as having your entire foot on the ground. My experience with more minimalist shoes and bike riding was soreness and hot spots where the pedal pins were.
But hey, you do you. What didn't work for me may work out just fine for you.
Coffee. Ski groomers. Work. Bike ride. Birthday party.
Then tomorrow we pack for a week in Oaxaca, MX. it’ll be my first international trip with a bike, culminating with me turning one half of one century old on the last day.
Very excite.

I used and ran in Merril flat shoes almost exclusively for almost a year. While it did help with my posture, it ended up hurting my back after a while. I think there is an edge point that our bodies just can't take.
I had a really good job interview with a company who had offered me a job 5 years ago. I declined the offer as I thought I need more experience working for a big enterprise. I have that now and the COO even remembered my reason back then. I this works out I could have a job very soon. Which is great but I actually would rather sign now and start sep 1st and just use the time off with full pay to enjoy life but of course not turning down a good job if they want me sooner.
this. the distal and middle phalanx of the big toe on my left foot are fused together after getting smashed between a rock and my pedal at diablo years ago. i switched back to clipless for DH permanently after that.
I have squished the top of my foot between SPDs (well, Looks) and rox before by catching it at inopportune times with my toes down
Boss has been MIA this week. My one direct report is taking today off. I predict a fairly quiet day at the office.
in my case my toes kinda got pushed down under the pedal. twas no bueno.
Went fishing last night... thought the creeks would be warm enough that fish would be moving up to spawn... but not quite yet.
Quiet day at work today... may duck out early for a ride.

Slept in, kiddo had to give both dogs a hug and a kiss before we left the house, dog 2 didn't realize that's what was going on and got the zoomies, spent 10 minutes trying to slow her down enough for a hug. As a result I was late for work, since I came in 30 minutes late, I should leave 30 minutes early to even it out, right?
I walk around barefoot most of the time, but after years of barefoot or flip-flop induced toe breakage, it's stiff bike shoes, good stiff hiking boots and steel toed work boots any time I'm riding, hiking or getting sketchy. My left pinky toe doesn't even connect to my foot right anymore, and is permanently twisted at about 45 degrees, it's mostly a non-issue unless I randomly need it for balance, then it's shooting pain and occasionally eating shit, protect your toes kids!
I walk around like a bull in a china shop and am constantly kicking/tripping over things. My day to day shoes are a pair of Scarpa hiking shoes because they have a rather strong rubber toe cap that keeps my little piggies from getting broken.
I once kicked a rock while bailing off the bike in technical terrain and somehow folded back the nail on my big toe. That sucked pretty bad but what made it worse is that the nail acted like a pawl and wedged my foot into the shoe. Yanking that thing out was a special moment.

come on
a sawzall is a much more appropriate tool unless you're going for the yakuza vibe
