This weekend I did roughly 30 miles (around 50KM) on bike. It was a good exercise, getting in shape a small step every day.

Now I just need to fix the mountain bike so I can do even more miles, since on a folding bike, because the top speed (around 20 mph if moving my feet really fast!), it is hard to go for a long time without getting tired soon.

I’ve started working on a mountain bike that was ‘lost’ on the back yard from a previous owner. I wast thinking of just throwing it on the garbage, but instead, started fixing it.

The list of problems is kind of big: no rear brakes, no rear brake lever, the saddle is well damaged, the gear shift is for six gears, where the rear cassette has 7 gears, a lot of rust, damaged cables, missing crank and missing one pedal.

I’ve already managed to snap a crank, and also bought of eBay new brake shoes and brake cables (very important not to kill any pedestian) and a simple computer to track the miles.

I’m also thinking of grabing on eBay the Shimano ST-EF29, which puts the brake levers and gear shifting into one piece (as I need one lever and one shifter, might just get this pack while it goes cheap). Never really liked the revo gear shifters, as is very easy to downshift while riding the bike.

I also need to pop up to a bike shop to see if they can offer some old pedals, and maybe a handlebar :p

Some pictures will come later…

Almost ready. Discovered today that I’m missing a bolt and nut to hold the brake shoe to the brake. I’ve to go to the bike shop to find a replacement for it. Already have everything else I need, just need to assemble it. Got a new bar and bar holder today, but still have to check if it fits on the bike forks. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to ride it to work…

OK, so where do I start?

This movie is brilliant. Its shocking, is way out there, it pushes boundaries to places no one never thought of going before. And is amazingly cool.

I went to see this movie today, actually just arrived from the cinema, and everyone was laughing from minute one until the end. And in the end people were clapping.

Its a funny movie, but if you get impressed very easily, then maybe this is not the movie for you. There is a lot of explicit sexual content, so, don’t take your kids to see this movie as well (is 18+ for some reason).
