That About Sums It Up

Punk-Like Behavior

Republicans are purposely playing chicken and then they'll blame Democrats for making them swerve and crash. Just like that punk kid last week who aimed his kick scooter at me and squawked like it was my fault he crashed when he chickened out.

So I'm trying to bunny hop my 'cross bike. I cut up some wood used for deck rails and stacked the the pieces to make a barrier. Two pieces were 2 and 3/4 inches, three came to 4 inches, and four topped out at 5 1/2 inches high.

I know. Almost insurmountable.

I found that speed is important. Without enough speed I'm going to hit the rear wheel for sure. Then there's the timing of getting the front wheel up at the right point. The trickiest part for me is coordinating all the movements into one smooth motion.

Any tips to help an old guy do this better?

My Commutes This Past Week

In the morning - After closing the garage and rolling out into the street, immediately notice how loud the drive train is. Grumble to myself all the way to work about how I need to oil the chain. Coast into the parking garage and forget all about it.

In the evening - While leaving the parking garage and rolling out into the street, immediately notice how loud the drive train is. Grumble to myself all the way home about how I need to oil the chain. Coast up the driveway and into the garage and forget all about it.

Today I stop the vicious cycle.
