CREAM CiTY COMiCS: 11.11
http://creamcitycomics.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Cars Cranks and the City! About once every 2-3 weeks some nutcase in an expensive automobile deems it necessary to remind me my eco-friendly bicycle is slower than a gas-guzzling automobile. It's just a weird thing I go through every so often. So far, I've experienced this ritual with the same GTO 4 times, a few pick-up trucks, a Cadillac, one Hummer, and this nutty VW SUV (click the title for a giggle). "Does this happen to any other cyclists? Saturday, November 12, 2011.

Bicycle Mechanics Club: January 2016
http://bicyclemechanicsclub.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
Back to the Dean's Page. Wednesday, January 6, 2016. Meeting # 7 - Test-Driving - 12/21/2015. After we mounted the new fork and front wheel on Friday with the US students, we test-drove our cruiser today on the parking lot. Verdict: it's awesome! I rides so smoothly, with perfect absorption of road bumps. We will have to change the handle bar stem though as the one we used must be a millimeter too small. Subscribe to: Posts ( Atom ).

Bicycle Mechanics Club: February 2016
http://bicyclemechanicsclub.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html
Back to the Dean's Page. Monday, February 15, 2016. New project: 1947 Hawthorne cruiser. We found this 1947 Hawthorne Cruiser in pretty good shape on Craigslist and started to fix it. We realized that the chainwheel was not original, and found an old school one from our spare parts bank, which fits perfectly (not pictured here). The chainguard is missing to, and we found one on ebay from a prewar Hawthorne, which will need some modification to be installed. Subscribe to: Posts ( Atom ).
