So, I purchased the following bike from my friend yesterday:

Different colours, same bike.
It's fun.

But it kills you without any gears and such. Especially up hills.

I get to work dead. I need to get more fit. I've been doing a lot of walking and some jogging, every day, but this works entirely different muscles that I've neglected for years.

It's also fun to jump around on and shit.

Who else likes bikes?

I want to be an overnight bike enthusiast. Help me out, bikers!

With these video recordings on cell phones being so popular, incidently, we recently filmed something funny on a bike!
Nathan was driving his step brothers little bike, with training wheels on, doing some tricks, bunny hops and such.

Crawford starts filming him. You see him coming down the driveway shouting ‘Woo!’ and then bunny hops and shatters the frame of the bike and goes flying into the ground and rolling all over laughing. It’s pretty funny. Especially the ‘Woo!’ just before he crashes.

im actually thinking about biking again. i used to bike a lot like 4 years ago, but my pedal is defected so whenever i do a lot of jumping, it breaks off. they told me to stop jumping, i stopped biking!

now i'm so out of shape it's not funny.

Yeah, you have no idea how it fucks you up. You feel it quickly. I havent used these muscles in years.

I ended up going out on a four and a half hour bike ride yesterday and then again today. They are the longest ones in recent memory, though today I rested for like an hour total of it. The trips weren't planned epics, I just usually find myself wanting to keep on going, even though I'm dumb and don't a pack a lunch or water, and I want to kill myself once exhaustion sets in. Today I wore jeans for my trip even in the sweltering heat, so I've got my stupid brain to thank for my ass rash...

I guess it proves to myself that I'm in better shape than I give myself credit for, and it makes me appreciate being young. There will be a time when I'll be old and arthritic and useless physically, so I'm glad I can get out even if it's just pointless exploring by myself... Biking at night is really exhilerating as well if you can find the right areas, you don't have to worry about cars or people or anything. It's very peaceful.

My bike is pretty mediocre, but it gets the job done. I don't even know what kind it is, but it's an eighteen speed... I actually got the pedal stuck under a bench in the lounge area of the ferry yesterday and by the time I got it out it was too late to get off, so I had to brave a whole pointless round trip because of that. Not that that has anything to do with anything... exhaustion make you dumb.

I cycled around Toronto’s ‘Centre Island’ or whatever it was called a few years ago.

That was pretty cool.

From April to October, my bike is my main means of transportation.

I'm just getting back into mountainbiking again after the long cold winter and my Europe trip. Tomorrow night me and some mates are going for a night ride along a big bush track near here.
