Slithering

[pasithea]

Mmm.

So yesterday we went looking for new pedals for my bike since the one broke and found the tires I'd been looking for and ended up getting those too, so I replaced my 8-year-old balding Kahunas with hardwalled road slicks. The ride feels so very different now. It's slithering and wet, like a black watersnake. That's the best way I can describe it. It feels very sexy, also a little bit scary. Slicks are one step closer to the Gitano I wrecked on. Not triggering any panics yet but it does make me feel a little timid again. Stupid phobias. Other than that though. Mmmm. Slithery wet sexy fast.

Hm. Just don't bike when it's wet outside, neh? ^^?

A while back, I wiped out on a ten speed type tired bike. Was taking a short cut along a dirth path. ten speed tires dont' grip worth two cents on anything but road. x.x

Anyhow, good news for you then. ^^ And I need to get my sister a new crank stem, as she's somehow bent hers. My own bike needs to either have the back rim retrued, or just replaced again. But I really don't want to take the flarking freewheel off, cause it's a pain and a half. ;.; And if I retrue it myself, it takes a bunch of hours...and I'm lazy like that. ^^;

Anyhow, bikes are fun. ^^
