Pumpkin spice red tea is tasty, also, sadly, seasonal.<\/p>\n
I wonder if there’s anywhere around here I can get pumpkin (note: not pumpkin pie) ice cream…<\/p>\n
I have decided to get all DIY on my bike. I’m going to replace the handlebars and seat. I’ve had good luck with split seats in the past. <\/p>\n
My current (drop down) handlebars are covered with disintegrating rubber foam crap. I could just replace the coverings (how do you get that crap off? My current inclination is to use something sharp to cut them off, then maybe burn them ritually, but if they’re adhered to the bars, that plan won’t work nearly so easily.) <\/p>\n
I’m wondering if the bullhorns are a good idea. My intuition tells me that they won’t let me push as much power as the drop downs, but they do seem like they’d be more comfortable. Any thoughts?<\/p>\n
I want to add a rear rack to spare my back and possibly enable grocery and camping trips.<\/p>\n
Of course there are a few other changes I’d like to make. It has decent speed now, but I would like higher gears. Since I’m in chicago, lower gears really aren’t necessary. For the first time I’m seeing the appeal of a fixed gear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
