Back surgery/back on my bike
I had back surgery 4 weeks ago (L5/S1 Fusion).

If you can fit 26x2.5
Take a look at Maxxis Hookworms.
Virtually indestructable and real eye candy, too.
Heavy. Seriously. Heavy.
But fun. Really fun. Bead to bead tread like a motorcycle tire (which is why...

I guess I have a different viewpoint
I was a rotary wing pilot back in the days of the first Bush war.
The techniques these pilots are practicing and the familiarzation routes the D-boys are running make sense to me.

My favourite part

You can take a left from a two-way to a one-way against a red.

Who is this "We"?
I'm no minority. I'm just a former white suburban punk who has been riding his bike around Portland for a couple of decades.
And if I don't know you, I won't own any part of "We."

I've seen a lot of folks with flats
the last couple of days

We're allowed to catch each other now?

Sounds fair
I'll bet if you got to know me, you'd like me.
That said, I'm not asking you to draft me.
I'm just saying that if I'm drafting you up Williams, I'm probably just waiting for a chance to pass...

I'm there
If the boss agrees to watch the lads.
AO doesn't owe me anything, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

For Infants
Chariot seems to have the best option, trailerwise.
At least they did when bought our Burley 4 years ago.
