So, who else works on their bike? i was gonna try to get into door dash for some after hours work, but i mainly deliver jimmy johns in chicago
I ride a alum mountain with drops, a longseatpost and road tires/sti's and a fixie schwinn made in chicago. That one's broke rite now tho, gonna go bring it to get fixed up
Does anyone do straight messenger work still?
Chicago is flat but it's a windy hell

I'm a messenger in Boston.
I often enter a state of roadlust while working where I become a complete and utter asshole on the street. Just today I came stupidly close to hitting a baby carriage. Wow I'm a jerk.
Got 2 aluminum track bikes made in Taiwan, a Nashbar Terra Alpha 5000 mtb, '85 Fuji League, and a '93 Bridgestone RB-1
It's wicked fun but I have a hard time relaxing. Adrenaline is one of the only things that I truly enjoy.

HIGH TEST
Anybody /SF/ here?
Been doing it full-time for a little over a year.
Started out with some shitty fixed-gear thing, bought a used CX frame that I've been upgrading and have finally reached the ultimate enlightenment that is 90s rigid MTB.

I feel you. I'm normally pretty quiet and reserved but riding puts me into a whole other headspace. Never felt more alive than after a near miss or that sweet, sweet endorphin dump right after an injury.

Oh god i'm not the only one
>road lust
I mostly just yell HAIL GODS OF WAR as i barge past red lights an shit.
and yeah. i really need hash oil to relax now. otherwise i couldn't care thaot much.
Really, i've noticed i just fucking hate people if i'm not working out or have a previous relation with them

btw, do either of you do fighting sports as well?
I kinda noticed i am a adren junkie. never really thought about it like that.
My friend is gonna be getting a new handmade frame and giving me his old one, so my geared bike will be upgraded massively
I used to have a 90's mtb for backup. Do you guys really think it'd take drops and some sti's?

Can you post a picture of your abomination of a bike?

I used to do martial arts, also used to lift a lot but quit lifting once I started messing full-time since that keeps me in pretty good shape and I ran into some overtraining issues combined with all the cycling.

the mountain or the schwinn
i warn you the schwinn is currently single speed no breaks
