Project this and project that

Project Acquire a Good Bike that's Not Insanely Overpriced is complete. My legs, bum, arms (wtf?) and back haven't been this sore since I took that summer job building a stone wall through a friend of the family's yard, but that's another story for another time. And the weather here is starting to break (knocking on a big hunk of wood right about now) so my rides around town have been feeling quite nice; crisp, yet enjoyable. I'm getting lost daily, which I like. But if I am in a decent proximity to central Uppsala I only have to look up and let cathedral towers guide me in like a sort of air traffic control.


For those of you keeping track or who care, the bike is not fixed just yet. I'm riding singlespeed with all sorts of brakes, safety first, until I can conquer Project Acquire a Track Cog. The hills here are a new and tiring experience for me. Ah glorious flat Chicago, how I miss thee. Uppsala is relatively flat but the hills that do linger around are killers, long and tall. All for the better though; I've been physically dormant for the winter and could use the exercise. Ouch, my leg just did that aching thing it now likes to do. Bikes!
