New Pink Fixed Gear Bike

Dienstag, April 8th, 2008

I am trying to get used to the feeling of this track bike. The bullhorn handlebars are moving no matter how tight I pull them. The pegs are too big as my shoes sometimes get stuck between pedal and peg. The pedal arms are built longer than where the pedal is screwed in – it looks nice, but that then touches the small 24″ front wheel when I turn it 180 degrees. Other than that I LOVE MY PINK BIKE. But I do not like having pink ribbon in my hair…

Pink Track Bike

And just a note on how small Beijing is. Today at the juggling night I lady came into the bar and said „Hi Ines“. She was just in Beijing for a visit and just walked by this newer bar and just came in to have a look how it looks like. She was only in Beijing a few days and on her way to emigrate to France. She was a good friend of my boyfriend some years ago before she moved to Guangzhou. I was amazed that she even recognized me. I told her to wait and called my boyfriend to come by to see her. What a coincidence.
