No rain no rainbow pt. 2

The last week put us through more rain and I am very very happy to let you know that my coworker, who recently started riding his bike to work, bought a poncho instead of taking the train! That is awesome because, when he was telling me aboot it, he bought the women's poncho. It fits more tightly but you get the length so it's easier to cycle in. On that note I bring to you "what to do when it rains" and I was going to add that riding a roller is boring but sometimes it's fun. If you have music and a beer support wife while your son is napping then a roller can be fun but if you're alone and it's raining and all you have are books and you can't ride ride a roller while you read then it's food blogs. Now i realize that I have posting a lot of food related pics recently so fuck you for noticing and bear witness to a rainy day tail whip. and the misses took the pictures of the misses. Cub woke up just in time to cheer his dad on to wet T shirtness.

Kiyoshiroh Iwamano R.I.P.



If you listen to the lyrics you can hear all the bike companies names and the animation is prettycool too. Iwamono San died at age 58 of cancer after a hard fought battle. He was a famous rocker and even performed live shows while riding a roller. The only thing that rivaled his love for rock and roll was his love for cycling. His bike was stolen on the way to Fuji rock so he couldn't perform. We talked about this the other and, despite the rain, I rode today. Enjoy everyday and every bike. This is his chou controversial punk version on the Japanese national anthemn, like the arguement wasn't hot enough already.
