MAJs gay bikes [she’s in her fitness era]

@ltc it’s good! He’s good, right amount of hook and repetition I think

@stelfox yesss, honestly makes it so much better and adds to the kind of, ethereal feeling of a good secluded environment, like an organ in a cathedral

Went to see @velosaurus about the bike gears.

Knowing I’d be riding the homer I set off in good time, especially after previous comments of the bikes road feel. It’s not far, 8? Miles or so? I spent most the ride over there thinking about what bits I’m clearing out my wardrobe and buying a new jacket (think what i want is something you would have seen on like........a struggaling boutique website in 2013, dying breaths of goth ninja, the early days of techwear, balenciaga and vetements were just being talked about) , there was a headwind the whole way which sucked but I was powered by a jam and pb fold over.

to my surprise I arrived early and VS was just coming round the corner shocked I was here already, awkwardly, as I now looked a little too keen and pushy for his offer to look at my gears, I tried to explain:

“Honestly I left with plenty of time due to big bike telling me road bikes are for roads and mountain bike tyres have no place there, combined with the CDA of my flat bars I was expecting to to arrive later this Evening!!...”

He was too nice tho, finished up and got looking.

I was promptly informed “nothing wrong here, seems fine?” I felt a bit embarrassed thinking surely I’d fucked up here, turns out that’s just gears. Something to make the handful of remaining fixed and single speed riders here happy.

In the end we had a nice cup of tea and talked bike, VS had a go on the homer, which albeit was too small, he endorsed anyway, stating it’s motivated him to build a similarly outdated and UNRIDABLE STEEP HEAD ANGLE frame he was debating. After which I headed home, which was shockingly fast with no head wind.

Good afternoon, bikes are good, hate that janny h’ is always right.
