Local Celebrity
Simon made a submission to the FGG of touring. Fittingly, I took the Sekine out today with a ghetto blaster trailer.

SHOW_USYR_BOBZ
Well, not much on the updating tip. Its been sunny and hectic. My favorite B:C:Clette is back in town, and we've been riding quite a bit. There should be many pics but they're not on my camera.
After a minor rear hub issue, and subsequent waranty return, my Cunny is back on the road, and I'm laying down the brakeless miles again. My arms love it. My back is loving the Megatron lately, as Morgan pushes me to hop up more and more steps.
We're just getting prepped for the SHOW_USYR_BOBZ summer island loop right now. I've got a week to get the Bianchi roadworthy.
It needs:
-straight cranks (going back to my old 600s)
-new pedals (better hit the MEC service counter)
-Morgan's bullhorn nashbars (Sorry Jody, the Nitto's are nice, but have too small of an ID)
-a freewheel in case of injury (in place of my high gear)
I always feel like summer ends right after my birthday. Well, this year I'm determined to cram as much summer in as possible. By the way guys, thanks for the birthday concept ride.

Touring, East Van Style
Sadly, my KHS has been sitting idle since I broke my clavicle on April 28. Well, that shortcoming is more than made up for by Camilo, as he pedals his Flite 100 brakeless to Mexico. Here's the latest update, from San Fran:
SF is nutty. That's about all I can say without going into detail about all the bikes here, not just fixies. Bikes everywhere. Might hit up the pre-pre-naccc party tonight. Riding sf is fun too. Traffic and roads are a challenge compared to van. Cars are bigger, lanes smaller, but drivers smarter and sometimes more courteous.
But fuckit, I'm gonna go hit this town midnight mass style! And I aint got no lights!
Peace.
Camilo
So there ya go. Camilo's still keepin' it street even when touring. I know I'm not the only one looking forward to future updates.
