I haven't posted in what seems like a few weeks and the reason is fairly simple. I broke my arm recently in a fairly spectacular bicycle wreck. Fortunately only a small piece of my front derailer, a reflector and a bell were all that were broken on my bike. Blue thunder still rides.
Long story short a car break checked me while I was going about 30 mph down Hawthorne Rd. and I went ass over tea kettle onto my arm. Thankfully it was a rather quiet Sunday afternoon so there wasn't a teenage SUV driver texting on her phone right behind me, so I was able to pick myself up and limp the two miles back to my house and then on to the urgent care.
While my arm hasn't completely healed, my doctor has cleared me for riding because of the new awesome Bosco bars I got from Rivendell, which make my bike have a more upright riding style, well completely upright really with an extra hand position that equals the flat bar that I did have on it if I want to get all "areo."
The derailer still works thankfully and the thing seems to be riding fine, but I've been thinking about changing up the transmission a little bit. Too bad I have no money.
Hopefully there will be more posts to come in the future.
Go mash some pedals.
