May 11, 2011
I stumbled upon this photo of Peter’s bike. I took it after he let me ride that Serotta for a bit on the Burke-Gilman on our way home from Mad Fiber HQ in 2011. We paused at this point so he could get his bike back because it’s where I would dogleg left-right on up to the U Bridge and roll south. While he continued east on the Burke.
A Mad Fiber commute passed this point twice a day.
These photos were taken right where 7th Ave NE plows into the Burke Gilman, between the Benjamin Hall Interdisciplinary Research building and the Publication Services Building aka the Mailing Services’ Mothership (that’s where I work these days)
Those are 27" wheels on my Shogun singlespeed. As heavy and slow as the day is long. I'll be riding them home tonight, slowly, uphill, in the rain, in the dark.
Those are Mad Fiber tubulars on Peter's Serotta. Light and responsive and rather expensive. They're probably in a landfill somewhere as we speak.
14.583 years ago feels like a really long time ago, a couple-three lifetimes in carbon fiber years...
deja vu all over again
take a picture
it’ll last longer
print it
cut & paste it
"a postcard" call it
a stamp put on it
now you can mail it
