The Pedals on Angels Linus have been feeling really grainy, I replaced them with some MKS Sylvan Touring Pedals I have had laying around for a couple years now. I never really got any use out of them my self. Angel seems to like the MKS more than the old ones because they grip her shoes better. They rotate more smoothly than the old ones as well.

I wish then video wasn’t so Portland centric but that seems to be the way the BTA is heading these days. None the less, it’s still a really nice video. There are a lot of good lines in there. Reminds me of the People for Bikes; “If I Ride” video. Both having a poem read along to the video. I enjoy bike videos like these a lot.
We went for a short ride today to pick up an order from REI. Then we just explored around the river front.
Down on the bike path along the river there are planets set up along the path.
We also came across these streets today.
First day in Eugene, had a wonderful day bike ride with my girlfriend. We rode from our house, along the Amazon Creek bike path Fern Ridge Bike Path, out to the end at Meadowlark Prairie. We later rode to University of Oregon and back to Amazon Park to watch some bike polo.
Nice day out.
Here is a video edited by Angel.
Eugene First Bike Ride from Austin McKimmey on Vimeo.
I grew up in central Illinois. In August of 2007, I bought my first real “adult bike” after needing a bike to save money on gas. Since then I have had many bikes. In April of 2010, after moving out to Oregon, I got my beloved Surly Long Haul Trucker. I have put a lot of good miles on the bike. This blog is about my life in Eugene.
