It's All About the Benjamins

Jump to Comments So I’ve enrolled for an Italian class at IU semester. The first day was great, although the building is pretty far from our apartment. I was pressed for time and my brother suggested riding my bike, and that went… well I got there on time! But the hills in this town are very un-Indiana-like. I can go about half of the way, which is over a mile, mostly coasting. But the other half was a bit of a disaster. I still haven’t figured out the geartrain on my bike, but I bet this will be a great way for me to become fitter. Or kill myself, whatever.

But, what this really reveals is that I need better brakes, and a good topographical map of the city to minimize the time on the steep grades.

Of course I could also do with a bike with a huge speaker on the front. And a rad haircut.
