ONELESSCAR # 0048 - Morongo Ride
Climbing Highway 62 on a track bike was probably not the best idea, and having such a high gear ratio didn't help either.
A front and rear break would also be pretty smart too, trying to stop at 35 mph with mere leg strength (downhill) is terriflying. (Did I mention the 18 wheelers driving only 5 feet away?) .
I'll be much more prepared next time I go up there.
. . . but I do have to say this was probably one of the most rewarding and fun rides I've ever been on. Big ups to Mike & Adam for keeping the pace.

ONELESSCAR # 0047 - 1 Year Without A Car (my thoughts)
Exactly one year ago I sold my car and told myself I would only get around on my bicycle.
I wasn't exactly sure what my intentions were but one thing was clear, I needed something new. I was due for a much needed change mentally, as well as physically. So I did the unthinkable : sold my car and stuck to my two wheels to get where I needed to go.
There was obviously a moment of hesitation at first (keeping in mind that school was almost 12 miles away) but the idea of commuting sounded like too much fun. I soon realized that this was a great decision. I didn't miss the stop lights, other drivers, traffic, paying for gas, insurance, and all the other expenses that come with owning a vehicle.
There was also another weight lifted which I was unaware of : I no longer felt rushed to get to where I needed to go. (With enough time) I could truly enjoy myself any distance I had to travel, have it be down the street or to the other side of the valley.
. . . to say the least I feel very liberated, another feeling I was completely oblivious to.

ONELESSCAR # 0044 (Retired Belts)
Vittoria: Randonneurs are probably the best road tires I've ever used, I thought this was a clever way to get even more use out of them.
.retired.belts. :
"As you can imagine, the tires go much quicker when you must rely on them as brakes. So in an attempt to offset the guilt I felt for burning through tires twice a month, I started thinking of ways I could reuse them.
I had seen tire phone holsters at bike shops. But I wanted to make something that could be worn by almost anyone that served a useful purpose and had style. The most obvious thing that came to mind, given the shape of tires, was a belt.
Given the nature of using repurposed materials, I wanted to use as little virgin materials as possible. So, after a few prototypes and mistakes, I have found the right process. I hand make all the belts individually from tires ridden in San Francisco."
