After putting the Kona back together I felt it would be appropriate to take it on a ride around town. From a 32×18 perspective, Portland bike traffic is insane. It’s not just the numbers that can be overwhelming, but the skill level of the average commuter. I don’t mean this to be an exercise in bitching, but it’s clear that summer is here. The beginning of summer usually reminds me why I really enjoy riding in the winter.
I’m all for more people on bikes, but do I have to be near them?
Now for something completely unrelated. If you were ever into Deep Elm Records, might I suggest this gem from 1998? Hell yes.
