Apparel City

Once again, Apparel City has saved me. Dragging my 50lb Pfaff in a Bob Trailer to be repaired was a horrible experience.   Great selection of thread and supplies as well. The best.

Pioneer Renewer

I've been here three times. Once to drop off my Sidi's, then to pick them up, then to buy a machine from Al, the owner.  I can spend all day here, talking to him about shoes, machines, projects, etc. It is tiny and full of work and machines, and it's on my street (18th)! Today is Black Friday, instead of buying something new, go get your shoes repaired or resoled.

Fenders


Fenders + bike not designed for fenders = rubbing and rattling.

Small Blue Saddle Bag


Del Puerto Canyon 200k

There was a lot of this going on. This is #1 of 4.


Yesterday the SF Randonneurs held the Del Puerto Canyon 200k. It was a beautiful and desolate ride in the east bay/central valley. Despite my four flat tires, I had a great time, I am tired.
Check out Carlos' photos here!

I stole this picture from Masa, without his permission, I hope he doesn't get mad at me. About 120 riders or so, it was a good day.
