What, woodward? I need to get my bike fixed, parking is brutal.

BTW, where's a good bike shop in town?

Well call street, by fisher. I bought my bike at walmart and usually just fix it myself. I've gotten parts at this place down on tennessee and magnolia. They sold me new barrings for $2. Seemed pretty reasonable. :p

I never walk down there, I have class and work on the green. I'll look for that place, thanks.
Where do you work? I've been trying to get a job on campus but no luck yet.

I have a graduate assistantship with the college of information. I don't really know of any ops/student assistant jobs open off the top of my head, but I can give you a heads up if I hear of anything. But, I got to get some reading done before bed. Remember, don't freaking run me over :p

I've used a pair of Koss volume control headphones that I picked up a couple of years ago at CompUSA that were FAR. I was surprised at how good they sounded. Definitely go with open air headphones when riding. The only problem is that occasionally wind noise around them at higher speeds and when it is windy takes some volume away. I highly recommend that if you ride listening to music put a mirror on your bike if you don't have one. It could prove to be a lifesaver. Even a helmet won't help if someone hits you hard enough and you break your neck.

STax w/ portable amp.


Perfect for bike riding in bliss.
