    Housing in Ithaca?

    I'm gonna be in Ithaca for a winter co-op (internship) from Thanksgiving until the end of February. If you have a spare room or even just a spare bed you'd be willing to rent to me, that'd rock. My needs are pretty simple: bed, access to a kitchen/fridge, and a shower. Internet and TV would be...

    So I'm lookin to buy a fixie

    Rush hour is more a track bike, yes/no? From what I've heard, track bikes don't make the best street fixies due to geometry and no front brake. I know I'd never run one on the street w/o a front brake. Style points dont' count in the ER. To the original poster, enjoy. It's a totally...

    80's music making a comeback?

    Yeah, I enjoy the 80's tunes, but at least it's fun to listen to, instead of what's popular today. Ever listen to the radio? Every other song is someone bitching how sad they are. Hell, sometimes I can be in a great mood and feel like slitting my wrists after listening to that.

    A few interesting things at the Giro

    Speaking of the Giro, check out one of the last climbs, I think it's in the stage that's next to last. 15k climb, averaging over 9%. THe last half is on dirt as well. That should be a blast.

    which ME elective??

    Depends on what you're looking to get into after college. A CFD class will be helpful if you've already have several fluids courses.

    what do you take with you on a ride?

    Pretty much a chain tool, 4/5/6 triangle, about 1/2 a chain, extra tube, patch kit, some money, my ROAD ID dogtag, 14mm cone wrench (chain tugs), cell phone, keys, tire lever. Never had to use any of it yet. Running a fixie with Armadillos. Pretty much bombproof, and I haven't been run down...

    Any monkeys in Erie, PA?

    So I'm going to be spending the summer in Erie for a job. Anybody know how the general atmosphere is down there, and/or anywhere to look for a place to live for 3 months? TIA

    So I'm fasting

    Yeah I seem to remember something like this from doing that during wrestling. Yeah you'll lose weight b/c you're essentially cleaning and emptying out your GI tract. You'll feel lighter, quicker, more alert, and essentially healthier in the short term (like 2-3 days). But after a while, you'll...

    Does this blender account for slurring by people using it to make mixed drinks?

    It's Thursday what are your weekend plans

    Playing rugby/drinking all day Saturday and Sunday. But I'm riding my bike to all of that, so it counts.

    When do you stop supporting LBS?

    My shop has always taken care of me (we're talking $150 off the best online price for a frameset, $100 off the best online price for a fork), and I try to buy there whenever I can. However, I know what he can and can't do. He tries to match prices when he can, but some things he can't come close...

    I am not part of the Green Day tribe but.....

    Haha, brings back memories of "fat calc chick", the girl in my Calc 3 class who would wear them and had more rolls hanging out than a bakery gearing up to feed runners after a marathon. :drool:
