I ride bicycles & think you should too. Working bicycle mechanic who probably seems bitchier than he really is. He/Him/They/Them/Buddy/Pal/Chief/Jackass

Just because we both ride bikes doesn't make us friends - @Surly_Bikes

After a more or less successful #fixedgearFriday was pondering bicycle choices for the Saturday morning #biketoworkKC when I realized, yet again, that it is really morning zeke’s decision to make & Friday night zeke just needs to get some sleep.

Ended up working late to finish up some things and then do some much needed cleaning & rearranging items around the shop.
Tasty leftovers for dinner at 10 PM on the #tinycouch is still a tasty dinner no matter the time.

Listen religious weirdo, you seem nice enough but I’m not your brother, no we weren’t waiting with stuff for you cause we didn’t know you were coming, & no shit the wooden pillars in the building used to be trees. Everything wood was. #JFC #bicycleshoplife Haha

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

Don’t be the mark but for many of you it’s to late and we all are paying the price

#SleepinSunday is still a thing but walking up at 6am due to a thunderstorm is alright. Now if I also had a cuddle buddy… ah well.

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

Broke a sweat getting rain gear on only to not need it at all & was just getting sweaty cause it was on.
Ah well. #cyclistlife #biketoworkKC #fixedgearFriday #thankquad #CityMarketCoffee

Did a little exploring of the newish downtown KC protected bicycle lanes while soft pedaling home on a moist #ThirstyThursday

#MondayRitualn

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

My new #housemate said today that she liked that I still did #MondayRitual although the crew I started doing it with however long ago have quit going. So to combat the minor depression that started surfacing in my brain earlier, I’m there.

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

Well alrighty then. Been expecting #fixedgearFriday to be a wet one. Guess that’s changed and the rain has moved out of the area. May have to switch which #fixedgear gets used for #ridetoworkridehome

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

Granted I suspect he was one of the mechanics that spent more time complaining about a former employee &/or the work that the sales staff & customers asked to be done than actually doing any of the work. #bicycleshoplife

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

Random thought of the day. Wonder if whichever clown I worked with in Iowa that used to complain to our boss about my Twitter posts still follows me?

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

After 40 years of #MondayRitual the old gang apparently decided to give it up.
Ah well, solo margaritas for me!

One of my favorite things about my @StateBicycleCo FU Klunker is seeing people’s reactions to it when they spot it parked.
Usually the reaction is surprise followed by laughter and occasionally a few disappointed head shakes.

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

Finally got out on the @StateBicycleCo FU Klunker for a few #softpedalSunday laps around the neighborhood. Popped by to an old friend’s place & sipped a beer up in the treehouse.

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

Even without photo proof Saturday is still #newbikeday for a happy customer!
Hooray! Aint mad about it. #bicycleshoplife

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

Then you add on that I don’t live here alone aspect. Oh boy. It couple be a long hot, potentially expensive, summer in this place.

[zekesbiken @OneEyedz]

Well drat. 2nd floor living may require an opinion change of AC use. Opened all the windows when I got home at 7. Had #pizzaFriday dinner & a movie. It was still 80° in this apartment at 11pm. Never felt like I cooled down from the #pedalcommute until the pre-bedtime shower.

This week’s edition of #MondaysOff was a good one
