    Another new bike for me!

    Since I rode that 8 Ball Turbo last week I've been hankering for a cool cruiser - so I bought one.

    Still got my mountain bike, but this is excellent for burning some kilojoules on the cycleways around the estate.

    Sigh...

    he's gone troppo.

    It was only a matter of time.

    Bloody Queensland heat.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Nah - back-pedal brakes. Got a decent 21 speed mountain bike for the radical shite. Busted the front wheel on it though, got some air and snapped three spokes. Just waiting on a new rim.

    I'm not wearing lycra thanks. Ever. I have respec for my fellow man.
    And what's with having to wear a top that looks like an advertising billboard for obscure European brands just to ride on the street.

    I did buy a cool matte black helmet to go with it though.

    Thankfully that's not compulsory for riding on the road. On the cruiser you need a t shirt and baggy shorts, even the helmet is a stretch it should really be a baseball cap and sunnies.

    In theory you can never have too many pushbikes, although I am reducing the 5 in my garage down to 4, no point being silly....

    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.
