I met up with Mike again and we grabbed a snack bark. then, went next door to ride brooklyn
They greeted me and were able to point out this
, no personal pic. i forgot :/ ); They lent me a helmet to cruise around the neighborhood and on the busy-busy street in the bike lane, down hill,,,,,
side noteL Schwinn is the bike of my youth memories. Getting bikes from police auctions*. (Recovered but not claimed, i guess. Maybe confiscated from drug dealers.. lol... ) so this one is around 350 and a single speed. I felt the lack of gear going up the slope back to the store.
Oh- I did capture a helmet to consider
. (See? 
the price of safety!) Not the helmet i borrowed, btw. That one was bulky and left my over-sensitive head heated.
Being that i was within walking distance of home, I walked back, making an independent stop at brooklyn bike and board; (it seems like someone forgot to pay their webpage bill!);Again, I was ignored, despite staff not being preoccupied with other customers. And, Again, nothing out that was particularly tempting to try out. I did grab the free bicycle routes of nyc map though.
which leaves me still meh. Spend a lot for a great bike? or spend a little on an ok bike
i know i'm behind, this one has been sitting needing a clean up.

Date: 2012-09-18 08:16 pm (UTC)When I had it set on FB to show me all posts, I was getting too many. So the only person I have set to show me all posts is Zach, and even that is a little much. But it is stupid. I can't set priority, so like, a friend's cousin's little sister whom I've met a few times shows up a lot, I think because she stalks pictures of Maya and therefore those interactions bump up our mutual priority? But then people I care about whom I don't interact w regularly on FB, perhaps because I actually talk to them or email them or otherwise communicate with them, somehow get hidden because we don't interact as much on FB. But I care hella more about you than I do my friend's cousin's little sister. Mind you, neither the friend nor the friend's cousin show up regularly in my feed! And still not everything Zach posts shows up in my feed, or mine in Zach's!
I don't want to see every damn like or comment, but I would like to see all the pictures (uploaded, not shared ones that make FB into Tumblr) and status updates of the folks I genuinely care about. ARGH. I keep seeing the same 100 or so people, many of whom are mere acquaintances. While my close/r friends go unseen.
I'm not ignoring you on FB. They just don't show up in my feed :(
