I feel so "messenger" today. After about 20 years of using a norma
backpack (about 10 riding with one) I finally tried something differen
- a messenger bag. A Crumpler "Fux Deluxe" to be precise. $170aud fro
the store in Lt. Burke street, Melbourne. It's a funk
black/orange/blue - I bought an old model which has horizontal AN
vertical reflective strips compared to the new model's singl
horizontal one. The guy in the shop said that striping was the mos
expensive thing on the bag. La dee daa ;
It feels different. That's all I can say about it, for now..
Of course I rode the GT SS in and popped nice little track stands at al
the lights to complete the messenger stylin' package. All I need now i
a radio and some tatts
Cadence Wars.. After some discussion on a.b, I thought I'd see how fas
I could spin. Going down a hill on Whitehorse Rd. towards Box Hill o
the GT I counted my right leg pushing 32 times in about 10 seconds, fo
a cadence of 192bpm. I say 'about 10 secs' because I was looking at m
watch for the timing. I'd get a bit faster with a more accurate metho
of cadence measurement that didn't require one hand off the bars
Time: 1:06 (about what I was doing before the Europe trip
