bike dumbness
April 19th, 2006
The other night at a bar, I approached a dude wearing a Bicycle Kitchen shirt. In hindsight, he looked familiar possibly from the LA treasure hunt. He told a story to me of losing the chain on his brakeless fixed gear bike downtown. He said it was the most fun he’d ever had on two wheels.
Today I almost got hit head on in slow motion by a Dodge Ram pickup. Completely my fault cause my foot slipped off my pedal (neeeed crank brother egg beater things) while I was riding hands free. I sort of regained control, only to be steadily riding leftward into the path of the truck. I didn’t, no one was hurt, some slight ego bruising.
Last night, I played the open mic at Mr. T’s Bowl in Highland Park. I had a good time. Sad news though, Arlo, the soundguy and music guy there was BITTEN BY A BLACK WIDOW spider. Jesus. I think he’ll be ok, cause it was a couple of days ago. May he get well soon.
