Spring Cleaning.

I cleaned out my apartment this Sunday

as a means of getting over a nasty

illness. To vacuum and steam clean my

living room I needed to displace my bikes

normally scattered about. As they stacked

up and eventually took up all of my bed

room, I thought it funny and would snap

a picture of how ridiculous my bike problem

is getting.

Where am I going to store my Transport?

Kate at Subway.

Subway makes Kate smirky.

Trek Rig: Sticker Update.

I got an Illest sticker pack with my new

shirt, so I decided to sticker up my newest

bike. I removed all of the Fox Shox stickers

from the fork and threw on a 7" vinyl.

As a tribute to Gary Fisher, I included an

"I Fatlace San Francisco" on the Seat Tube.

The colors actually match the bike really

well.

Looking forward to getting it really dirty.

Kwame Update.

Still hanging around. Still chewing on stuff. Still Cute.

Rally on the Square.

Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine

said the Madison, Wisconsin has the potential

to be the next Cairo.

Being a savy photo blogger, I figured I would

swing by and see what people were saying.

Turns out, it's just a bunch of hippies yelling

that all we have to do to solve the worlds

problems is "Tax the Rich".

Just as simple as that.

New Bike Day: 2011 Trek Gary Fisher Collection Rig.

Spring is almost here and I have got some motivation to

ride the trails out by Trek's Headquarters. Problem being,

I have never owned a mountain bike (until today), so I

was always borrowing bikes that may have not fit me and

we almost never set up properly for me.

So, I bought a Rig.

Summer!

Kwame is Back.

Kwame is back after his small vacation

in Michigan.

He was excited to see me and then he

pooped on Michigan Ave outside the

Crate and Barrel.

Tanks for Nothing.

This was outside LuxBar where we had lunch.

Coincidentally, Jesse Jackson was also having lunch there

as well.

NikeTown.

Swoosh Banisters.

Kitsch.

Killing Time on Michigan Ave.

Waiting for Dad, Cate and Kwame led us to exploring

N. Michigan Avenue. Kate got lost but Apple Stores got

found.

Nary and iPad in the whole place.

Chicago in the Morning: 35 Stories Up.

Grey Skies melt into a frozen Lake Michigan.

Spring is upon us and I, for one, cannot wait.

Chicago at Night: 35 Stories Up.

Michigan Avenue glows gold and smells like

what Detroit could have been.

Capitol Building.

Equally as pretty as Madison's.

3-4 times the size.

Tilt-Shift.

I tried taking pictures with the lens half

off of my 500D. Some came out pretty

decent looking.

When Toyotas used to be reliable.

And chrome dogs were stickers.

Walk in Austin.

Austin is an amazing town. Not much unlike

Madison it is home to both the state capitol

building and a large state college.

The city shows its growing pains as it attempts

to accomodate the rampant growth onset by

Dell and other major companies in the area.

I was there in February and it was beautiful.

It was 74 degrees and lovely.

Probably sucks in July.

Friendly Truck.

Says, "Hi".

DiaCompe in the Garbage.

Party Foul?

NAHBS: Bike Valet

I would argue that the bikes people were riding

to the show were equally as, if not doubly as

important, as the bikes on podiums.

Understanding how people use their bikes

is paramount in developing more appropriate

bikes.

Hey Look! It's a Subaru on a T-Shirt.
