365: 2010.03.13 (CO2)

03/17/2010

First, let me just say that I know I have completely fallen down on the 365 project. I don’t know what it is, but at some point I kind of hit a wall. With the weather turning, I hope that changes, but for now, I’m changing the way that I format the titles of these posts to reflect the date they were taken rather than the number in the series, largely because I’ve lost track of what number these should be. So…

I ordered CO2 cartridges in bulk, because I use them to fill up my bike tires in a pinch, and they’re a lot cheaper this way…

this is just sad. I know people have tiny apartments, but there’s just no excuse for doing this to your bicycles.

Note: this was taken at 10:30am, before the bulk of the storm hit.

365:154 (power grips)

I bought these pedal straps last year, and they were the best investment ever. I can’t handle clipless pedals, because I am a giant klutz, and toe clips are not particularly useful if you can’t tighten them because you have to brake every two blocks because you’re riding in city traffic (and you’re a giant klutz), so these were a good in-between. you slide your foot in on the diagonal, and when you straighten it, the strap tightens and holds your foot in place. as a bonus, you can wear any shoes.

365:152 (almost spring!)

Ok. so it’s nowhere near spring. But I got this mailer for the first big (and biggest!) bike ride of the season, and it made me very happy. Even though the ride itself is a giant, crowded, somewhat unpleasant mass of humanity.

these were my 3 favorite pics from photo class, so I framed them and hung them in my foyer.
