The Third Annual Indianapolis Tweed Ride is rapidly approaching. (That’s me on the front there) It’s my favorite event of the year and I’m going all out again this year. I was saddened last year that my bike malfunctioned right at the last minute so all of my cleaning and nifty construction was in vain. However, this year I’m prepared. Saturday, I’ll be taking REI’s Comprehensive Bike Maintenance Course specifically to learn the ins and outs of my vintage bikes. (My road bike, Slither, is a breeze to work on because it’s pretty much a 1:1 experience with Lennard Zinn’s Zinn & The Art of Road Bike Maintenance. (If you ride a modern bike but don’t own that book, shame on you.)

Anyway, I’ll likely share pics of my finished bicycle related silliness so stay tuned.
