Back on the Bike

Posted on by

I’ve started riding everywhere on my bike again.  Finally.  After not riding for over three months, I’m out of shape and ready to start crankin’.  I also purchased a fancy little u-lock that fits in my back pocket (the Evolution Mini).

San Francisco has way, WAY gnarlier hills than Seattle.  Holy shit.

    Erik and I were chilling in the CS building doing 421 homework just now, and someone just walked by saying “if you haven’t biked in six weeks, don’t.”

    For me at the start of this year, that figure was more like six years.

    i love riding bikes in a city setting. it makes you realize that cars really aren’t that necessary. what kind of bike are you locking up on the street?

    ps: i have a really hazy memory of riding the bluffs with you. RIP bluffs

    Agreed, Chris. I love biking around the city.

    I ride a Scattante R-560, which is an entry-level road bike. I love it :).

    Yeahhhh bluffs! Dude I wish those were still around. Stupid real estate development people.

    You’re a hipster, with your “Rad” bike and all.

    Jim, with the hills in SF, you can bike REALLY fast.
