installed water bottle cage on mtn bike. twisted the spoke nipples on the 22's front wheel. squeezed the brake lever on my 24. May put larger bars on the 22 today...

Painted my bike in the theme of an 80s acid trip. Then found a huge crack in my frame.

Wait till surf nicaragua wakes his lazy ass up and posts the pics I just took of it now.

I hate that my phone doesn't let me work photobucket.

replaced 6 spokes on the front then switched my bald khe park for a bald fit faf... i wasnt gonna trust the khe through 50 miles the ghettttooooo

today I smashed through 10 miles straight straight straight of 2 lane each way, super narrow, unprotected left-turn 40mph traffic street. probably stopped at a total of two lights and skitched back up to speed at those stops. fucking smashing through traffic is sooooooooooo much funner on a bmx

cut my bars down a shade over 24.5 wide, feels nice

Rode it and realised road biking hung over is a bad idea. Almost vommed all over the bars, had a lucky escape haha

Trued the back wheel
Jb weld mod on the underside of my Balance Piv seats
filled the dropouts a bit with JB weld on my Fit Mac frame . Still have too file it down too 13.5". Can't stand the wheel shifting, even after reefing the hell out of it with a 2 ft 1/2" breaker bar.

Biggest air of my life out of a quarter. Thank you, Bike.

flipped the stem on the 22. pushed the bars forward just a tad. Jumped the fuck out of it. Swapping out the seat/pedals later today because they suck.

Wrapped my toes around my handlebars walking by it. Want to ride it today, but may have other plans.

Last nigh I put my khe collapse on the half of my bike that's still together.

now that i finally have my bmx bike working again i gave it little tlc today;added a link so the 2.23 ruben didn't rub, back end feels amazing now! i can manual so much better already and i haven't ridden it in like 5 months. also painted my bars grey/silver so they half match my chrome forks. was gonna raw 'em but i didn't have any stripper. and i painted my stem too, put a 5mm spacer under it as well.

also got a flat on my mercier. skids ftl. luckily it happened less than a mile from my house on my way back from a 20 mile ride with no spares or tools...got lucky
