Haven't written in a while...

I haven't written here in a while, so I figured I would write something to keep it alive.

I had an interesting weekend. It consisted of: 120 mile round trip ride, visiting Tsuyoshi who toured the world on his bicycle, talking to a 66 year old that is attempting LA to NYC solo bicycle trip, and babysitting 3 kids. Here is the story. The long ride was a means to get to and from the house in which Tsuyoshi lives. At his house, was the 66 year old that wanted to get advice about US for the solo trip. And the 3 kids are Tsuyoshi's who I helped take care of for the day. I learned a few things this weekend. One is that it's never too late to start anything. Second, is that I don't want kids for quite some time...

On the way back, I noticed some weird clicking noise coming from the bicycle. It's a metallic clicking noise that occurs at certain position of the crank, and only when I am spinning fast. I don't hear it at low cadence, and the amount of load doesn't seem to make any difference. It's only related to cadence, and happens with both small and big chainrings. This problem is new to me. I will post once more when I figure it out.

One more thing. My friend sent me this link of a quadruped robot. Its interesting, but looks kinda creepy. See for yourself: http://gizmodo.com/368651/new-video-of-bigdog-quadruped-robot-is-so-stunning-its-spooky
