This is important stuff. It amazes me that people don't vote, but whatever. I encourage you to vote though. The deadline to register is the 14th of October, and it takes only a few minuets (if that).
Well I just got my bike back from the shop today. Got new handlebar tape which is so comfy. Got a new helmet. And uh... all the repairs from the last accident. I also replaced the brakes, which have not been replaced from the date of purchase.
I have a Specialized Sequoia Elite. I have always known the importance of wearing a helmet, but it does not really sink in till you have been in a few accidents. I am so happy I was wearing my helmet both times I have been hit, this last time I ended up headbutting a car while going about 20 MPH... so yea.
I am a 23 year old journalism student at Linn-Benton Community college. This is my second term as a full-time student. For the last five years I had been working full-time while I decided what I wanted to do when I “grew up.” Well I have decided, and I want to be a journalist!
When not in school I play a wide verity of video games. I like to refer to myself as an “active gamer,” because I exercise and enjoy the outdoors and other active things very much.
I enjoy bicycling a ton. My bicycle is my only mode of transportation and that is 100% fine by me. I figure in Corvallis you rarely need a car. Plus it gets me to work out and saves me money. I would like to do the Reach the beach ride this year which is a 100+ mile ride to the Oregon coast.
Travel is the main thing I want to do with my life. I have lived on the East coast for a few years, and I have road tripped across the US many times. The highest priority on my travel list is Western Europe right now. Hopefully within two years I will be taking a trip to there.
