just saw a little girl in a purple long-sleeved shirt, skirt, sunhat unicycling on the sidewalk on grand ave.

Hella skillz!!

hopefully she rolls by again the opposite way so I can take a pic.

and then I nearly could have gotten hit again by a dumbass second driver.

car in front turned right from a one-way to another one-way street, the car behind looked very ambiguous but no turn signals on (!!!! fikdjfjkd idiots) so I thought he would go straight—but of course he didn’t and blindly followed the other driver and made the right turn—while I was in the middle of crosswalk with my blinking front bike light on.

I’m not a pedestrian wearing all black! even then, fucking pay attention—car headlights are freaking bright—look at the things they’re illuminating!

this was at the corner to my apt. building.

always gotta think that people behave badly in the outside world. or else get hit by a car.

a block away from my place in downtown oakland, some guy walking his dog yells (at me?) “GET A FIXIE!!”

wtf??! as if the car vs bike “war” debate isn’t enough, road bike vs fixie??!!

and I HAVE a fixie, thank you very much. I’m just waiting on a new 650c tire so I can ride it again. and just because I have a fixie doesn’t mean I go around telling random ppl I know nothing about to get one.

reminds of one time in san diego I was riding my (road) bike a block away from my internship offices, and this kid on a vintage road bike-to-fixie conversion with the brake lines cut but still lazily on the bike shouts out “RIDE FIXED!” when he saw me.

wtf is this pretentious fixed gear > road bike nonsense??! and these people that yelled at me didn’t even look like hipsters, either! I bet they can’t even ride the highest gear (52 or 53 chainring) on my road bike, which I ride all the time except for on actual hills.

as long as people are riding, RESPECT. no matter if they’re on a road bike, mtb, fixie, citybike, folding bike, beach cruiser, whatever.

waiting for my mom to get back so we can go out for dinner together, so I went for a short ride to jack london square in oakland where I saw a group of ladies chillin’ in the shade with their bikes…

The start of a cyclo femme ride. first stop is the Berkeley Rose Garden.

darn. if I had known earlier, would have been there with my mom.
