I can't make the pledge: I have a road trip scheduled with my brother over a long Easter weekend, and I won't have the hardware to ride or blog during that window. But, I'll do what I can to join in. Here's my picture of a bike against a wall:
I've had no luck selling my Trek 620, so I spent a bit of time in the workshop converting it over to a quickie fixed gear (note that I didn't even change out the crank). The rear wheel is a freehub that buddy Brian welded together, giving me a fixed gear wheel with an easily adjusted chainline:
Tonight's ride was pretty short, just up to Avery park with the kids. A fixed gear with only one brake isn't the best choice for pulling kids, but we made do:
The latest thing the kids like to do at the park is throw the Crocs around. No need for us to bring a ball to play with!
It was a beautiful evening after many weeks of cold:
There were lots of other kids at the playground today, and they all had fun playing "traffic jam" on the slide:
They were having so much fun, my five minute warning stretched into 15. It was too nice to hurry back inside.
That's it. All of about a mile of riding today, but it's enough to count.
