So today I was riding my batcycle around town, and I got some funny looks and a couple people giggled at me.  Probably because I'm kind of tall and I was riding a small spray painted bike with batman logos on it.  Happens all the time.  I kind of like that.  Don't ask me why, I couldn't tell ya.

Here's what it looked like in it's prime


It's slightly less shiny and spiffy now, but I guess that's what two years of weathering, crashing, skidding and trying to jump off curbs will do to it.  It's a good bike.  Notice there are no hand brakes.  Pedal brakes are where it's at. It's great for skidding.  Makes me feel like little boy.

See ya tomorrow kiddies.
