bike standing up. i don't particularly remember what makes it easier, i tried to adjust the chain to the outer wheel thinga ma bob because i thought maybe that needed to be adjusted, i can do it when ive shifted the gears to like 4 or 5, but thats BRUTAL on hills (see: the hills are kicking my ass). i desperately need to stick to a gear for right now jsut so i can get my stamina up - i dont remember biking being this hard. haha.

and pix :

nothing special, for now, i gotta see where this bike thing is going to take me. then i might consider getting a cooler one.

in other daily news: after i finished riding this morning, i came in, took a nap (which might i add was fucking lovely, i havent taken a nap in the middle of the day in like, forever), watched some tv, went to get some food and batteries for my companero and now im sifting through youtube and listening to vspot. life cant get any better than this. no, i take that back, if i had some chocolate it'd be that much sweeter. ha

biking, is kicking my ass.

its uber rad and fun and all, but still kicking my ass. i didnt realize how long its been since i've actually been on a bike since last saturday. up and down hills, biking standing up, switching gears. i take it back - the hills in my neighborhood are kicking my ass. the biking part is fun, once i figured out how to adjust things.

i went to one of those bike shops with the people who are paid to tell you how short you are and point you in the "small" bike collection direction. haha. they're actually paid to tell you what bike will fit you best, as far as usage needs, stature and selection choice go, and just my luck, i get the new guy. the new guy that when i walked in was standing behind the counter screaming, "you want a refund? i need a manager for that!, you want to be rung up without a price upc, i need a manager for that!, i can't breathe, i need a manager for that!" haha. and he kept announcing to everyone in the bike shop how short i was. (and that i didnt wanna pay an arm and a leg for a bike, not that i said "arm and a leg" but you get my point).

i tell you, everything i do has to be an experience. it was good though, because i did need guidance, i was going to go to target (see: no arm or leg required for purchase) until my manager's son told me that i should go to a real bike shop.

im exhausted. people have been trying my patience. good nite to all, and to all a good nite.
