Lots of stuff to be hauled to Bike to Work Day in Freedom Plaza, and the truck had already departed when we received a frantic call for workstands. Out from his place of slumber, the warehouse, stumbles Jordan, and his just-finished
Surly Big Dummy. Thanks to the folks at
XtraCycle, who overnighted some necessary rack parts, and some quick bungee cording....
....Jordan loaded up a bike, and two Pedro's workstands. What a way to take the maiden voyage in style. He was up all night getting the Rohloff internal hub and disk brakes dialed just right. We pointed our way down 14th St....
...forgetting his helmet in the excitement. Big Dummy, indeed.
At low speeds, it seemed a bit unwieldy and seemed to shimmy, but once he got rolling, it was all good. Big ole Schwalbe tires swallowed potholes.
We got a caravan going for the ride back....
....and guess who was grinning the whole way?
More to follow later, nap time now.

"...grinning all the way..." Yes. So easy on a Dummy.
