"dude, come check out my blog" 'nah, i can bore myself.'

so here it is my official first blog post... i thought i'd start this blog because i have recently taken on the challenge of biking year round... i know, "big deal" some of you say... yeah, well unless you are doing it above the sixty parallel on icy roads in complete darkness... just you shut your mouth... (my little china girl).

some background leading up to this...

my car broke down in January, i started walking. when the snow melted enough (end of april) i was back on my Dew busting the commute. winter started coming and i was torn between buying a burly bike to ride through the winter and purchasing an internal combustion engine (a sweet little jeep)... ultimately i opted not to buy the jeep but still had to make a decision: ride the narrow roads or find another vehicle.

i weighed the advantages and disadvantages and then i was like all fuck it! i love bikes and hate cars! i could not think of a better reason than the challenge for someone who considers himself a "core" biker. additionally i think i can save up for that irradiated super chimp i saw on the internet.

anyway, i dropped some dough bought spiked tires, a burly rig and a shit ton of LEDs. threw it all together and christened it "the suicycle"... been riding in the snow and ice for a month now, been loving every minute of it but things will change when the busy season starts... and coincidently my biggest concern: fuel laden b-trains heading north... but more on that later.
