I made a nasty right hand turn and both tires slid out from under me. I slid into oncoming traffic on my side, my bike went to lane 1, I laid in lane 2 next to my sunglasses and hat. Road tires suck balls in the oil/rain.

Road rash to the MAX. My entire right side is fucked up. From my shoulder down to my hip. Pics once these bruises develop.

I feel your pain, broseph, I know exactly how you feel. Was this your first big slam?

[scabzzzz]

I dont think there is any tire that is good in the oily streets s0urce.

Side note:
Ordered some new parts. For the car and the bike. Been doin straight fuckin work lately on my hobbies. My bike is about to become a lot cooler. Proper photoshoot to follow.
And to those who care, Im going on a photoshoot with Spasticdwarf tomorrow. I'll have some player tight professional photos of the Redefined Rusted E28 and the Scab Mobile. Pretty stoked man.

And btw, Im using a Mac right now. Its pretty fucking weird. Id rather be using Kubuntu.

I saw that schwinn madison infront of my restaurant a few days ago, only with some tiny risers, brakeless and it had a barpad on it. the geometry is tight, its a nice paint job. schwinn did something right with the madison, that's for sure.

Why n00bs should run a brake...

so this happened last week thursday. met this kid at school and me him and dre decided to ride.
so all of this happened coming down from cal state hayward... errr "east bay"
long story short. i guess hes not that experienced and was unable to clip in on top of the hill.
a hill which had a pretty steep grade. so he was unable to stop and collided with a fence/railing at a pretty damn fast speed."post goes on saying that the rider did a flip over his bars and luckily landed on his ass and not his head. fug.

I guess, of this magnitude at least. I've done 2 endos now. Both in the same parking lot. Flipping over the bars isn't really that bad. It's a solid slam that leaves some bruising. A high speed slide on my side is much worse considering the road rash. This shit just sucks. Nothing worse than having to pick bits of pebble out of your flesh.

Does anyone have just a cheap, basic rear wheel with a fixed hub I could score for cheap? I fell on a friend of mine's girlfriend's bike a couple of months back, and kind of forgot about buying her a new one after I told her I would. It doesn't need to be anything special, just a cheap stock wheel with a fixed hub.

Got a ticket for riding without a helmet and lights, $3** fine, but can go to "bicycle safety school" sometime in the next two months. He said I was going excessively fast through an intersection and suspected me of trafficking drugs across town...Got searched etc etc etc.

My parent's neighbor and roadie buddie used to race fixed gear track bikes, then something happened on track at the end of a race and he went over the bars. Broke his collar bone, several ribs and punctured a lung. Fixed gears are not toys.
