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.

I found the wood.

Yeah, I found it!

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.

Amazing

Chow time, kids!

I was rapping with a friend the other night about my joke post with the sandwich picture and posting these sorts of things can be funny. Or in my case, something to do when it's raining. It struck me as kind of odd that someone who was posting about cycling or, again in my case, commuting would have entire posts dedicated to what they ate when they weren't riding but then again this is 2009 and they can post whatever they like. It got me thinking about what other cycle/food/streetwear blogs might be out there so I headed off through the web. It wasn't hard because the same friend had shown me this one and it definitely had cycle/food/streetwear or otherwise known as CFS. I like those kind of blogs because they show you how to eat well after a grueling20km ride. It hit me like a flash from the al'mighty creator that if I really wanted to experience CFS I should head to areal down kind of guys blog. The disturbing part about honeyee is that I actually found some of the stuff interesting and wasted a lot more time there than I should of. It was like a scene from a horror movie where the people stare in amazement at the thing that is coming to kill them all the while you are yelling at them to run. They deserve to die. Not to be outdone I needed to post something but it could be plain enough for the common man to value but smug enough to put it outside the nickel and dime range. After waking on last weeks rainy Saturday morning I praised Dikra that I didn't have to ride to work today. After standing in lines at shops for what seemed like ages and getting kicked by a cub that didn't want to sit in a stroller the woman who I am lucky enough to be betrothed to decided it was time for a break. It was there that I found my grail, the food not the guy on the BMC that I chase occasionally. The new Freshness veggie burger, potato wedges and a large beer! The best break ever and I had found a way to work more food into a cycling blog. I too will get CFS'd son enough.

They never refuse to.........

The sekidobashi flea market is world renowned. At least that is what the guy from SF told me as his gf sheepishly stood there probably wishing she could have slept in. The whole thing kicks off around 4:30amish but we rolled out there at 6 and the crowd was still steadily growing until we left at 9am. It was only the Dr. and I due to the fact that other people talk a lot of smack but never wake up for these kinds of things. "I am gonna be there at 5am" boasted someone who shall remain unnamed, because I don't know his name. The Dr. was able to sell off some unwanted stock pretty quickly and we were off to the store because our first ride had preceded my morning shit. After a refreshing dump and bide wash I grabbed a weekend beer and headed back. I have to say i was thoroughly stoked to see so many bike enthusiasts and cool stuff. It was all sausage but fun nevertheless. We saw everything from vintage clawd batler tandems(sic) to anime disc wheels. If you get the chance to go it's worth it and it is a great way to start off a day of cycling/drinking.
