Two Wheels Too Many
The City: an environment dominated by cars. Cars are widely accepted as the popular method of transportation. Everyone should have a license. Everyone should have a car. Teenagers can barely wait to get their keys on their 16th birthday. Cough, cough, smog! For the enlightened few that have been able to gain momentary peace of mind and think outside their leather interior, the alternative method of transportation is obvious: the bicycle. Everyone who chooses this fate must ask himself, “What kind of biker am I?” Does this particular bicyclist love racing traffic at breakneck speeds or tearing down a flight of stairs? Most likely, the hardcore biker will gravitate towards both options, but, unfortunately the equipment has limitations. The biker must choose between a road bike and a mountain bike.
Both the mountain and road bikes are designed for the purpose of transportation, much like the body of an animal. Both bicycles have two wheels and two pedals. These appendages serve the same purpose as the animal’s legs and feet. In addition they both have handlebars, which serve the purpose of stabilization; just as a set of arms do. Both types of bicycles have a frame; which serves as the body of the animal, connecting all it’s parts and allowing them function as a whole. Yet, upon further inspection, the following information may be gathered: The function of a whole is governed more so by the design of its parts than by the design of the whole.
Even though mountain bikes and road bikes have the same approximate proportions, the specific constructions of either bikes’ components will usually differ drastically. This being said, the knee bone is almost always connected to the thigh bone. Predominantly, a mountain bike will be outfitted with flat handlebars, which allow for more ergonomic riding positions. A mountain bike may contain front, rear, or both shock absorbers. This makes for a more comfortable ride, depending on terrain. The frame of the mountain bike will be made out of a strong, heavy material such as steel. The wheels will be thick and knobby, able to ride off road. Overall the mountain bike will be a lot heavier than its lightweight counterpart. The road bike will be fitted with less ergonomic, more aerodynamic style handlebars called racing bars. This generally gives the onlooker of a speeding bicyclist the vague impression of an eagle, swooping down to destroy the onlooker, who is the fish. The racing bike never has shock absorbers, because they inhibit speed. The road bike’s frame is found to be made from lightweight material such as an aluminum alloy. The wheels of the road bike will be thin and lightweight and the tires smooth. This will help insure minimal friction between the tire and the ground. The road bike is an ice-skater on roads of ice. The mountain bike is the fat cousin who came along.
Component construction and functionality of a bike determine the style in which it is ridden. Due to the knobby nature of the mountain bike’s tires, it can safely travel over various terrains ranging from gravel to grass. The mountain bike’s tires are the working man’s heavy work boots. The sturdy frame of the mountain bike allows for (almost) as many crashes as the rider can take without having to worry… about the bike. The flat bars allow for not only more comfort, but also an easy way to grip the bike in midair. The shock absorbers prevent the rider from suffering extreme shock experienced from repeated high impact landings. This prevents pancakes. All these facts add up to the sum of: The mountain bike is an all-terrain vehicle of exploration and transportation.
Due to the thin nature of the road bike’s tires, it can only safely travel on flat, level terrain. They reminisce of an Olympic runners shoe: ideal for one condition. The road bike’s frame will not take much abuse but is very lightweight. The racing bars force the rider into an aerodynamic posture that improves speed. The hard (shockless) forks of a road bike maximize the feel of bumps in the road as well as bicycle performance. The road bike is able to travel long distances quickly and efficiently, just don’t crash.
Both road and mountain bikes come in entry level and advanced models. This being said, mountain bikes tend to get more expensive at the upper echelon. In part, this is due to the complex nature of high-end dual shock absorption systems. They are expensive to purchase and maintain. It is also because of the costly semi-lightweight, super-solid materials used in the frames of top of the line mountain bikes. The material for high-end road bike frames is expensive as well, but does not need to be as strong as the mountain bike’s, therefore it is cheaper to create. Both types of bikes have their die hard fans, and yet due to their different natures, different fan demographics.
In the end, it is evident that the equipment serves such function as the man dictates, but, the dictations of the man are decided by the equipment that he is dictating to. In short, most bikers tend to have multiple bikes. Depending on the occasion, either may be appropriate. The rider must decide where he is going, how fast he needs to get there, and hopefully have some foreknowledge of the intended route. Once these facts are taken into account, the correct choice will be made by an informed biker.

I'm trapped in this falling life
but I get by
I die in a falling dream
yet I don't leave
I cry rivers of pain
still I sustain
and I'm plain, simple
and gentle
violent, silent
and whimper
one giant fade out
one note reverberating
off the empty walls
of the universe
slowly losing energy
converted to matter
and vice versa
until I don't matter, anymore
I'll be the energy of the floor
holding up the next poor soul
who decides to let go
and have a bit of hope

I'm not in such a bad mood now. I organized the video clips for Freestyle Reality a bit. I'm gonna listen to some music and fold some clothes. Luis J Monhollon has already arrived. Bryan was kind enough to pick him up at the airport. They are driving around, just hangin out. The last time I was at an event and couldnt even kick was at CSS4, thats when I made that one video that was in Freestyle Fantasy, which I think was my best shred video EVER, because I didn't play but 1 hour of the whole tournament I was able to walk around and film everything. So, hopefully, since I most likely won't be able to kick (until sunday, which I will probably force myself to kick) I hope that I will get the best footage. Either way, it will be fun to hang out with people. I got a lot closer to Lon because of last time. We cooked together and he did the dishes. I think he would make a good husband. LOL, I'm not interested. Actually, yesterday was Anne Dios and I's one year anniversary. I've never gone out with anybody for a year before. Whoa. Unforunatly I was too sick to do anything. But I made her a sentimental bracelet that says walnut is *** except the *s are actually hearts. Her last name is Dios which is spanish for GOD and hungarian for WALNUT so her screen name is walnutisgod, but shes not too into GOD so i thought hearts would be better on her wrist than the word GOD. I just tell her it says walnut is love. I made it the night before our anniversary while she was sleeping and put it on her wrist so when she woke up in the morning it was already on her. I hope that overwrode the fact that I'm sick.

Anyway, blah blah, gonna fold clothes and listen to music then finish capturing last event's shred so I can have free tapes for filming this time.

Thanks for reading, gets stuff off my chest...

Wow. Nice thing Sam. Your girlfriend hd to be very enchanted by this...

And I think that change the word GOD to three hearts, that mean love is a good way... In my view of the ethical and moral things Love = God, and God = Love...
