    Re: Spring is Here

    FINALLY! It took a while up north here but today was 20 degrees! YAY!

    Talking about bikes, I've been looking to purchase one now that I may be moving and prices of gas are insanely high...anyone have some good recommendations for a strong, well built bike for mountain trails and biking to work? PM me or let me know.

    Sorry to threadjack Seb. Love the shot!

    Re: Spring is Here

    Why did you cut off the top of the "Free Air" sign?

    Why is the air hose red?

    Ah, spring. I miss it. It hit 101 here, a couple of days ago. I think I had about a day and half to pull out my Schwinn for a nice spring ride. On a positive note, a cold front just came through and knocked the temp back down to 87. Woohoo! Nevermind the tennis ball sized hail.

    Nice shot, red hose and all.

    Re: Spring is Here

    The sign was cut off for two reasons. A) To make the balance of the shot work. B) Because there only needs to be a suggestion of what the sign says to be able to understand the shot, no need to include the whole thing.

    Trevor and Steve, you guys are my bestest friends. K.I.T.

    Paul, someday I hope to live next to you and lament the hardships of warm weather as well. I did a short ride yesterday in 72 degree weather, I really will miss that when I move to Austin.

    Hey Sebastian,

    Forget the sign being cutoff, but the bike is WAYYYYY to clean. Throw it in a mud puddle or something. It's a clean shot, and it's nice to see a Bontrager being ridden. I love those bikes..

    What's this about Austin, are you moving there or visiting?

    Loren,

    You are right, but to my credit, it was just picked up from a tune up and was cleaned by the shop. Seriously though, that frame is precious, and I do my best to keep it clean and running smoothly. That bike is a dream to ride.

    As for Austin, Rhianna and I really want to move there. Fell in love with it when we went.

    Karen and I also thought about Austin too. It's a cool city with many of the same coolness features that Chicago has.

    I am sure you would love the winters there...

    Yep, I told you so!

    Actually I don't know if "cool" is the right word, 'specially this week...
    Great place though - hopefully I'll get back there again soon myself.

    Austin's great! You just have to get a light and ride at night in the summer. You guys let me know when you move here. I know all the good trails, bars, and ice cream joints.
