Biker's Log
Date: Sat. 5/27/06
Loc.: Home to Matheson Hammocks (round-trip)
Dist: ~16 Miles
Time: ~3 Hours (with breaks)
Date: Mon. 5/29/06
Loc.: Home to Friends
Dist: 5 Miles
Time: 45 Minutes (no breaks)
Notes: three things that are pushing me to return this bike and get a better one: sloppy shifting system, shotty brakes, heavy (thereby slow). Or should I rag on the cheapie, because it is fun, and that way when I have a more precicse tool I will be better trained? Do you believe in the school of thought that says, train with primitive tools which makes you more proficient with lighter and stronger tools? Or alternatively, 'practice perfect' with the right tools, from the start?
