Chari kansei!
Yesterday I installed the Crank Brothers “Eggbeater” pedals, retrued the rear wheel, and completed the bike project. I put in a few miles on it today, and my lordy it is sweet—not sweet like ninjas, but sweet like homemade chocolate, delicious sweet.
Of course, I was nearly killed by a clueless left-turner while appreciating the sweetness, thus driving home the point that I am even less visible on a bicycle than on a motorcycle. My traffic instincts will require further honing.
Also, my legs are pretty tired. Lance Armstrong, I ain’t.
