Every year on fourth of July, I roll out of my driveway and forget that there’s a very high probability I’ll run into a Parade somewhere along my route. This year… was no exception! Don’t get me wrong… I understand the homespun pride of a small town parade… and I sort of even enjoy the idea of sitting and watching a parade with my kids… just not when it blocks my cycling route!

Should I ride the STP on my Fixie?

Today I had some errands to run… I need to head down to the “Rack Store”… as in bike rack store… the bike shop… and Radio Shack. We are going to go on a little road trip this summer (actually in 2 weeks) to Yellowstone. We are driving the new Prius, and so we need to get a bike rack installed on it. So I jumped on my fixie and headed to the store to get some roof rack parts…

After spending the afternoon with my daughters selling lemonade on the Burke Gilman trail, I was given permission to go and do a quick brick workout. My plan was 1 hour of cycling, followed by 30 minutes of running. I figured I’d get about 18 miles and 4 miles.

In a fit of “what the heck”, I decided to ride my fixed gear bike, in FIXED mode. Maybe it was the weekend in San Francisco… although I really only saw about 6 fixies in the mother of all fixie towns… I guess it was just walking around SF all geeked out on the idea that I might see a bad ass fixie skidding down one of those gnarly hills. Never did, so I never got my fixie fix… so I had to do my best to give myself my own fixie fix.

We want to be free! We want to be free to do what we want to do! We want to be free to ride. And we want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man.

Well, I’ve been busy busy busy the last week… but today I was stopped by Johnny Law for supposedly riding my bike inappropriately.

What!? Here’s my story… and I’m sticking to it!
