my new found love.

i've recently discovered a new interest/hobby: ROAD BICYCLES (FIXED-GEAR ROAD BICYCLES TO BE EXACT.)

fixed-gear road bicycles, also known as "fixies", 

are single-gear bicycles which the paddles turn as the wheels do. 

they are quite hard to ride, but so much fun to customize. 

i am currently in the process of painting the back rim of my fixie a neon yellow. 

i have already switched the drop-bars straps from a black to a mixture of red and black camouflage like patterns. 

the frame itself is baby blue, (which i believe represents OLD SKOOL) and on the front forks of the bike, it reads: "ride tuned N' gauged".

every time i ride, it gives me a sense of freedom, an awareness for the environment, and a very good exercise. 

surprisingly enough, it has changed my thoughts on some things in life, such as:

- cars are probably the worst inventions ever to have been created in this world. (except for cars that are DESIGNED, not manufactured.)

- i would actually like to go up to a tree one day and hug it good for about 5 minutes, then say "thank you."

- NOLS sounds like an awesome thing to do for the summer.

- professional fixie-r? 

- no chris. 

- need to get fit, need to quit smoking cigarettes. 

- join the Los Angeles Midnight Ridazz

i think it's a good start.

p.s; what should i name her? 

open to suggestion.
