just riding along (JRA)

May 13, 2010

bike-to-work day gets more people on bikes and out of cars and that’s a good thing with the arrival of spring in Seattle the Dexter Avenue parade of commuters is in full bloom but it’s not the matching shoe cover & eye protection Cat 2 decked out spandex dudes that get my attention it’s the commuter chuffers bouncing biopacing undulating on under inflated tires expending more energy chafing their ass on a sheepskin saddle than they’re putting into the pedals inefficiently mashing a tiny gear while white knuckling purple anodized bar ends and bobbing their whole torso up and down back and forth like a dippy bird drinking because  that’s what it’s all about

Remember when 2 W. Roy St. was a place where you discovered cool? Just like smoking, super cool even though it's really bad for you.

I remembered the phone number years ago cuz it's a great one and I remember when I'd call the shop and hangup if anyone other than Adam Smith answered the phone. yup
