  • There’s something incredibly satisfying about building a wheel up from scratch. Besides listening to favourites tunes and drinking some wine during the three hours it took me to complete lacing it up, it’s an almost therapeutic exercise. As an inexperienced hack, it’s hardly as time efficient or precise as it should be, but maybe that’s…

  • Re-tired ~ New rubber on the old Marinoni. I figure as long as you can see those little rubber bits sticking up from the tread, it’s a new tire. When they’re gone, it’s just a tire. When you see threads, it’s an old tire. Then it’s time to re-tire.

  • “The future is unwritten.” ~ Joe Strummer A statement so simple, it almost seems ridiculous. However, it reflects pragmatism, forward-thinking, a little stoicism and most importantly, *hope*. All this from the disillusioned punk who sang, “Cold water in the face; Brings you back to this awful place” Write yourself a wonderful 2021.
