good god this Flonase post nasal drip is making me nauseas as hell. >.<
hi
I got reamed by some random cunt while pedaling around with my kid in a bjorn.
Good times.
Good times.
Until then.
At the time, I lived in an old town area that had quite a few shops and stuff, so it was always busy. Never got chewed out, but you could hear people talk. Some people thought it was adorable, others were surprised. I heard a few asking others if it was a real baby haha. I loved riding with him and he loved it. He was always smiling and looking around. Quite a few times he would fall asleep from the semi-rocking motion. My wife hated it. Most people seem to think it's weird and dangerous, but they don't really have any reasoning behind it. Not like you can't get hit by a car with the kid in a stroller or something else.
People are morons. The one time I did get cussed out, I was going to 'kill my dog' by running him while on the bike. Keep in mind it's a 90lb GSD and he goes nuts when I even get the leash out to ride the bike. 99% of the time, he's the one pulling me.
THIS.
Because Americans feel like they need to drive their kids everywhere. Heaven forbid you ride a bike with your kid on it, even though almost every other country does.
Then I would have to find the appropriate leather helmet and goggles for him

I biked to daycare with my 2 y.o. today. It was still (just) below freezing, but he enjoyed it. I'm getting sick and tired of walking, I can't wait for permanent, full-time bike weather to set it... I have one of these bike seats that sits on a pannier rack:
I used it for my first, and it's still going strong for my second. They're great. I like it better than the Chariot (we have two of those friggin' things) for two reasons: it doesn't hang out behind me for some idiot driver to run over, and it doesn't generate extra drag.

I think this implies imbibing beers pre- during- or post-ride? It would be difficult for the morning commute, but I will certainly endeavor to do so for the after-work commute.
Chimpex = up Chimney Gulch, down Apex. A local favorite which SS has NO BUSINESS RIDING while we're stuck in the airport/traffic/working! 
And it was an Enchanted Forest day to boot.
Sad thing - with every new bike that trail gets shorter.

whats the new bike SS?
A Huffy fixie.
Dragged a pile of crap to the transfer station today - a couple of dead lawnmowers, batteries, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, rusted cans of oil-based paints. Probably 0.001% of what i need to get rid of.
Are you a hoarder?
I have been to some extent. Hilarie exceeds my propensity by at least an order of magnitude. Our house is filled with tottering piles of crap. On the upside, H has decided that we need to get our first dumpster.
wait, you're out of room in the house so you're moving into a dumpster? congrats! retirement sounds awesome!
Just burn it all
I would.
Because you were wearing your hat bro style?

I learned along time ago not to rely on others to go riding. Just roll solo.
The past several years I've been doing just trail riding on a bike with dh geometry and it's been great.
Although, if I had lift access 15 min. from home, I would still have a DH bike.
And shockingly enough eating onion rings for dinner a few times a week and not exercising did not improve my riding.I've found the best thing that helps my riding is... moar riding.But YMMV.
Driving from Miami to NYC. I am more thinking about 26 to Columbia and then 77 to 81 via Charlotte. 26 was pretty boring and a lot of traffic heading into Columbia Sunday evening.
oh, I'll ride trail solo no problem. I just find DH kinda risky. I've had to drive myself home with a broken arm before and almost didn't make it; I was worried I'd pass out from the pain (yeah I'm a pussy!).
I just checked the buy and sell on PB, and there's plenty of bikes in the 2-3k range. I think I'll sell my bike this year, pick up a dirt jumper and a good bike for my son, and when neither of my kids are in daycare anymore and have more cashflow, get back into DH. I think of it more as an "aurevoir" than an "adieu"....
81 is a purdy drive but I hate that road. Semis drag racing each other up and down the hills at 40 mph.
Made it to South Beach, Florida after more than 1500 miles later Saturday night. Amazing weather and topless girls on the beach. Driving back Saturday morning. Did some nice sightseeing along the way. This is from Skyline Drive
Also went by Devils Backbone brewery and picked up tons of beer. Some of it literally came straight from the filling machine.
Highway 40 from Knoxville to Ashville was a really cool drive too. Florida not so much but I did that at night with no traffic. Heading home I may go through Charlotte to avoid driving home on 95. Anybody know if that drive is better?
I was at DBB last Saturday. There were lots of weirdos there. Biker gangs, Bros, monacle wearing filthy rich.
Ha I was there in the morning when they were setting things up. Helps to have VIP access
I might just take 95 and save the two hours extra driving.
Proposal officially submitted. There are already 2 people from my section who are most likely going. Our section is sized such that having more than 3 away at any given meeting would cause lots of scheduling problems. My hope is that getting this workshop proposal accepted will cement my free* trip to Hawaii.I'm writing a proposal to present a 35 minute workshop at a 2016 conference… in Hawaii.
* I get a certain amount of money each year to use towards licensing, membership fees and business travel. This would go under my budget so isn't actually free, but it's not coming from my regular salary, at least.
