fixed impressions

I’m now indexed by technorati, making it even easier than ever to find my content.

I have been so busy. I’d begun to understand at some level, maybe, why Matt Chester abandoned his blog. I loved it. It was so “bikey” and west coast. But it takes up a lot of time, keeping up the tone and trying to keep it interesting. I have posted as often as a few times a day, and over 30 in a month. Lately you may know I’ve been once a month. Not that it’s any excuse, but the fact that I walk to work (6 minutes) has hurt my cycling time. And for sure, the less I ride, the less material I have to work with. I’ve been writing a new blog about my music and marketing it online (sic.) You can find it over in my site www.gonterian.com. I’m really fired up about that blog too. Back to the point: my dedication to fix remains, but I guess I have to accept that I may not always have time or content for the blog.

Matt Chester has returned to blogging. That’s a headline for me. I ignore genocide, politics, abortion and long-travel. When a dedicated simplicity guy makes news, I’m there. OK, well I’m a couple months from having the scoop, but you get the idea. I didn’t really have time to read too much of the blog, but sounds like he’s goan up to ol’ Canada to build frames again. Times change, people change. Well, I just typed in the old URL and sure enough, seems Matt is back at it: HERE. So I guess I take solace in knowing that you might get busy for a while or maybe be short on subject matter? Anyway, it’s getting very cold here and now all of sudden my interest rises. Go Figger.

Burlington continues to astound me with number of fixed gear bikes per capita. I dont know how you could really count bikes in a city, but we’d be in elite company when it comes to percentages of fixed gear riders. Just wish I could get back to being one of them. Wah! OK, I feel better now.

Check out Matts blog [again] and get out on fix.
