Why we ride.

We ride for the different perspectives the view from the saddle can give us. Sometimes the view presents us with a puzzle or optical illusion of sorts.

-

Sometimes it can throw us back to a different time
-

Sometimes it just captures or curiousitys

I saw this today.

It's a SE fixed gear bike with woodgrain finish. Officialy know as the Lager -Wood Grain I had two people walking behind me comment about how they like the finish. That toptube pad has a zipper

-

Heres a close up. I think anybody could emulate this. I'm not sure what to think. One one side I expected it to be more high-tech, but then I kind of like the primative method they used

(Guess I need to trim that cable some . . . Oppps)

-

Seat with Woodgrain effect.
-

Viw from the cockpit. I might have to setup my bike with pursuit bars. It's kind fun.

You never know what you'll find at Midwest Cyclery

How about this.

-

That "this" has to do with this "this"

-

. A set of Campitello, fur lined, winter cycling shoes.
-

Back in the day cycling shoes had wood soles.
-

and cleats used to look like this.
-

You had one bolt that would maintain the cleat's position, then you would nail/tack the cleat to the bottom of the shoe. That's right, better get it right.
