Woo hoo!
Then we went to Mexico to celebrate.
Then I got real busy being a post-doc, still at UT.
Back when I used to blog regularly, it seems I generated most interest on this blog by posting about my Dynamic Crosstown and about bike commuting in Austin, so here's an update:
I still commute almost every day on a bike. My back-and-forths take me about 80-100 km each week. After three years on my Crosstown 7, I've racked up almost 13,000 km (8000 mi). It's still holding together nicely, although I think I'm going to need to replace the shifter and cables and give the rear axle a good cleaning to make the shifting a little more precise. Shifting has been finicky lately. Also, the cranks are a little creaky. They probably need to be greased and tightened. Overall, though, no major complaints.
During the summer, I used the new Capitol Metro Red Line commuter train, because sometimes, it's just too hot to go both ways.
If you're still reading, post a comment to say hi.
Cheers!
