Automotive Rims

but i’ve got the fastest set of wheels in town

so i’ve been trying to justify to myself why it is that i own three different bikes.  and i’m not entierly sure i can do it. 

there is my 29′er :

my bike

I love my bike. even if it’s a size or two to small for me.  i’ve got a huge seat post after i bent the stock one, not jumping it or anything, just riding around the yard. so now it looks like an oversized bmx.it’s only got one gear, and i love riding it. it’s currently got platform pedals so i can ride it to work if i happen to be up and awake at 6.

my next bike is a specilized rockhopper? i don’t know really, it cost about the same, ~500 and it’s all worn out.  well not so much anymore, but i’ve upgraded it to single speed, but i’m reasonably sure i need a different chain, with the existing one it slips when i’m cranking up hill.  but it’s got bigger tires than stock, 2.4 inch.  the front shock is shot on it, but it’s still a good ride, or it would be if i happened to put some pedals on it, i took the platforms off of it to put on my 29.  but it’s would only take <five min. 

and then there is this:

my newest bike.  and one i haven’t riden just yet:(  it’s a folding bike, bought when i new i was going to be working downtown, but didn’t know where. (a block and a half away from the bus stop)  so i bought it, and filled the tires up with slime, and then parked it.  it’s not really made for my kind of biking, i get the feeling it would shater the first time i jumped it, and if i cranked up a hill it would be irreparable damaged as well.  but it’s still kind of nive to beable to have it around, it fits right in the back seat of my car, it only takes a moment to fold it out so it’s ridable. so i’m planning on takeing it durring the conventionm just in case they manage to shut the city down, like i hope they will. i can pretty easyily ride it home, much faster than walking.
