Enjoying Hen – Bike Snob NYC


If I’m famous for something, it’s my award-winning* avian images:

*[My avian photography has never won an award.]

To seize the picture of a hen of prey in mid-flight with a fish in its talons is arguably one in all images’s biggest challenges. Considerably easier is getting an honest shot of some chickens, as I did this morning whereas passing via Yonkers:

Whereas there are individuals who do preserve chickens on this space (I can hear the “cock-a-doodle-doo”-ing after I journey previous their homes), this was the primary time I’ve seen them merely working free, and I can solely assume this implies Yonkers is now on the cusp of being overrun by feral poultry. In response to sure factions, migrants now are consuming up all of the animals, and but these scrumptious unprocessed Chick-fil-A sandwiches clearly really feel comfortable and are in a position to scratch round within the grime alongside the bike path fully unmolested. Alas, I not know what to consider.

Sure, ours is a tradition of extremes, which comes into sharp reduction round election time. I too am a person of extremes. For instance, someday I’m using a Roaduno, and the following I’m on a classic Y-Foil, which is basically the Anti-duno:

It’s nonetheless carrying its Vermont gravel mustache:

And sure, this previous week I did in reality have a name with one of many engineers who designed the Y-Foil, and I now no extra about this bicycle than maybe some other layperson on the planet.

As for the Roaduno and its pending dingle-ization, I believe the issue is a worn freewheel not cooperating with a brand new chain, and can set up a brand new one imminently [update below!].

I’m extraordinarily grateful for all of your assist and strategies over the previous few days, even when most of them have been most likely improper.

Might your weekend run as easily as a well-tuned drivetrain.

***UPDATE***

I’ve put in a brand-new freewheel and it’s working superbly!

Clearly the issue is that the freewheels I’d been utilizing beforehand have been too worn:

So in the event you’re organising a Roaduno as a dingler, do your self a favor and begin with all new drivetrain elements.

You’re welcome.
