I feel so “messenger” today. After about 20 years of using a normal backpack (about 10 riding with one) I finally tried something different – a messenger bag. <\/p>\n
A Crumpler “Fux Deluxe” to be precise. $170aud from the store in Lt. Burke street, Melbourne.<\/p>\n
It’s a funky black\/orange\/blue – I bought an old model which has horizontal AND vertical reflective strips compared to the new model’s single horizontal one. <\/p>\n
The guy in the shop said that striping was the most expensive thing on the bag. La dee daa \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
It feels different. That’s all I can say about it for now.<\/p>\n
Of course I rode the GT SS in and popped nice little track stands at all the lights to complete the messenger stylin’ package. All I need now is a radio and some tatts!<\/p>\n
Cadence Wars.. After some discussion on a.b, I thought I’d see how fast I could spin. Going down a hill on Whitehorse Rd. towards Box Hill on the GT I counted my right leg pushing 32 times in about 10 seconds, for a cadence of 192bpm. I say ‘about 10 secs’ because I was looking at my watch for the timing. I’d get a bit faster with a more accurate method of cadence measurement!<\/p>\n
