“why do you do this to yourself?”
she spoke in a voice of genuine concern and looked at me a bit worriedly. but she didn’t say anything else. i haven’t seen her for years.
i was in a middle of what was to be a long bike ride. i ran out of water along the way and [...]
yesterday was pretty unusual for me. i had to wake up early on a sunday to help out lito man the rudy project booth at the first leg of the 2008 hitachi national grand prix criterium race in luneta. he rarely asks for favors so why the heck not? that’s a no brainer. its a [...]
i just heard from john (a new friend) that sheldon brown (the cyclist) passed away a few days ago. that bit of news stopped me at mid sentence. oh wow.
sheldon brown was a great help with my bike maintenance education. on cycling circles, if you want to know about bikes, especially the old ones, then [...]
a friend of mine, felix, sent me a fixie. well, he sent a picture of a fixie. sneaky devil. the bike in the photo does look pretty cool. its from alta bikes of norway (i think). their site is cool (and hilarious) too! take a peek.
let’s see… €665 plus tax plus shipping from norway… wait, [...]
january 2008 is ending and i think its been a good month. granted that there has been glitches here and there and i’m late on some of my workload (with good reason) but no one under my care has been hacked and work-related stuff are moving forward although at a slower pace than i [...]
12km to moa (mall of asia) from the house. at the moment, the cyclocomputer is a distraction.
i have to maintain 25kph.
what?!? i’ve only ridden this long?!? this far?!?
wow. look at the time. i’m late.
its a small distraction but i’ll keep it on because i want to know how far i’ve gone after every ride. i [...]
i rode to moa (mall of asia) this morning for a little meet up at seattle’s best. there were a lot of cyclists along roxas boulevard as well as walkers and joggers as is usual for a sunday in manila. the drivers were happily accomodating. its only on sundays afterall.
unfortunately, also saw an accident at [...]
lito and i rode in up diliman. he said there was a group ride that goes on from 2pm to 4pm. all in all there were six people riding around. lito forgets sometimes. i forgot my water bottle.
but it was a beautiful afternoon. cloudy and the acacias sheltered us from the sun. the ride [...]
despite the fact that i felt a little sick this morning, i took a 4k ride to mendiola and back. i had to. my son needed a change of clothes for practice.
this gave me an opportunity to test the velo 8. nice little gadget for the price but i wouldn’t really trust the [...]
tool geek. i am. i swear. such a tool geek.
and lito would agree with me.
i always believe that one should use the proper tool for the application especially the mechanical kind. if not then one risks more damage to the item being repaired or fixed which would lead to more expense. and spending more [...]
