on sunday i took the awol x poler in for a final tuneup. everything was really smooth with it when i got it back. since then i’ve had a flat tire on monday and the bridge next to my office tried to eat my front wheel on tuesday(resulting in snapped carbon handlebars and an untrued wheel, plus a few bruises and scrapes).

thanks to a wheel true and some new bar tape from the bike lane, i’m back in action. those guys are quick. definitely in my top three chicago bike shops.

in no particular order:
comrade cycles
the bike lane
boulevard bikes
