If you live in the snow

Alright maybe living in La Grande is one of the worst decisions of a persons life if they want to be a hardcore biker. I mean there will aways be people way to tough and even more hardcore then your typical hardcore like my Uncle Kent whose birthday was on monday, (Making a person internet famous on post at a time). But getting back to the point at hand, if you have never been here, La grande can kind of suck. Its cold the wind gets going and its slicker then a 10,000 dollar whore. People like myself who where into biking can come here and seemingly lose all motivation for it. But if you end up gather your man parts and putting on 12 sets of layers there is a solution for you to bike in such...... Less then ideal road and weather conditions. Cars have then so why can't bikes have them. Oh whats them you say? Chains, chains is what makes the wheels go round (PUN!), and the cheapest way to do this is zip ties. Problem solved!

  1. Hey, how do you apply the brakes?

    I find that knobby tyres usually work on most road surfaces--dry, wet, loose snow, packed snow. Sometimes not so good on ice, but that seems to happen infrequently.

  2. Haha I realized my post was riddled with spelling errors too after I got done with it. Just a fun fact :)
