I just bought a folding bicycle








For those who remember my "phases", I had a folding bike phase before. I bought a couple of cheap folders. One was a nicer aluminum 5 speed with 20" wheels. The other was for Kate, it was a 16" 3 speed, a cheapy. The seats wouldn't go high enough to get any leverage on the pedals, so I sold them back on ebay.
This one is a name brand, with the smaller wheels for easier carrying onto public transit.

I also signed up for a bicycle forum: http://www.bikeforums.net/ Lots of good info there, as on other fora I belong to.

Kate is in a fitness phase, she wants to lose that extra 50 lbs. She's lost about 10-12 so far over the last month. Along that line of thinking, we threw our (clunky non-folding) mountain bikes in the trunk of our old Civic and went to the local forest preserve. We rode for about an hour in the 87° heat. Quite fun, but loading & unloading those bikes will get old in a hurry. The Curve D3 should be here Wednesday or Thursday.

In other news, Aero PA motorcycle shop doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get my god-damned scooter fixed and back in my hands. I have a feeling they will blow a whole summer of scooting for me. Shitbag!

  1. Hi Jeremy Z.,

    I just want to thank you for stopping by my blog. While I am pretty much on folding bikes now, in the past, some of my family members owned motocycles and used them for camping trips to getting to work. Check out some of my other sites too when you have the chance. On my Flickr page, I have a popular photo of my father on his last Harley-Davidson motorcycle dating from the 1950's-before it was stolen.
