I don't have a nice camera. The camera I bought a few years ago is pretty nice but too big to bring on rides with me. The smaller camera I have is really old and takes crappy pictures. Soooo I have to use my phone to take pictures when I ride which is a pain. I'm not going to go into the details of my camera trouble but, to transfer the pictures on my phone to my PC I need the cradle thing that came with it. I haven't used it in a while so there was some trouble finding it this week but I got it so here is a picture of my bike:
So there's my bike. One of the Japanese words for bike is 'jitenshya' so that is sort of where the name came from. I have had it for about 3 years I think. I have had to replace the front break cable about 10 times (riding to fast), maybe 3 flat tires (junk in the road), new basket (bunny hops baby) and the kickstand recently broke (no idea how this happened). The breaks squeak something fierce but that just helps get people out of the way when I am riding. It has many stickers on it which might be hard to see so I will list them. The band stickers are TOOL, 3 inches of blood, Isis, Iron Maiden, Mastodon and maybe Opeth (I think this one has fallen off). the other stickers are Hanshin Tigers, Alpine, some king of smilyface thing, a shamrock and Rockstar as well as a couple of restaurants that I like. Oh and the last time I had my breaks fixed the shop put a sticker on without telling me.
The rides I think I will go into more detail once I take some pics and I haven't messed with posting the spread sheet yet so I will just give ashort update. I have ridden 312.42 Km which means I have 9687.58 Km to go. The longest ride so far was 48.34 Km in about 2 hours 45 minutes. Yup so I am just over 3% into this and not feeling too bad but my butt is a bit sore from all the riding. Hopefully i will take some pics next week for the next post.
