After not riding a bike for around a month having been on tour in rain-sodden Queensland and New South Wales, the last few days have been a rediscovery of just how much fun riding is, especially when it’s summer in Hobart. The air is crisp, the sun is hot, and the hills don’t get any easier, but after jumping back on the bike this week, I’ve gotten stoked on riding all over again. I’ve been riding to work with a stupid grin on my dial, waking up sore, remembering that yes, I did have muscles there, and yes, I’d forgotten about them until trying to creak out of bed the day after my first ride for four weeks. Ouch.
Anyway, here are a few photos of my bike, for posterity’s sake. For those of you in Hobart, get out to Newtown Oval tonight at about 6pm for some casual track racing – everyone’s welcome!
Make sure you check out the details for the SS Nationals as well – it’s going to be a silly weekend!
Oh, and Shifter Dan posted this beauty on his site. Spreading the B’n’C gospel! Happy Fridays.
My favourite fixie in Hobart.. ahhh.. yellow..

Hey buddy, mine’s yellow, not lemon. Ha!
By the way, this is a formal invitation for you to put up some photos of your own tricked-out steed now. Lemon Deep-Vs and all, hehe…
