Bike Restoration

Scored a free bike.

Removed major components.

Sawed 6 inches off the bars, removed majority of old paint.

Painted it green and white.

Took a gnarly spill on my way to lab where I then rolled into a construction sign that attempted to fall on me. Here's the culprit.



I've always wondered: at what age do men begin to slow down and "take it easy" as they get older? 45 minutes after this spill my muscles are tightening up and I can tell I don't bounce off the cement quite like I used to. The answer is 25 years old. 25 is when I noticed I'm not 16 anymore, at least not physically.
On this note: To anyone familiar with the situation with my knees (click here to learn about it). They still aren't better, and I'm a week and a half into anti-inflammatory medicine prescribed by my knee specialist. I still can't crouch, or do butt kickers; the pressure is way too tight behind my knees. Not that I need to be able to do butt kickers, but those are some movements I'm unable to do. The next phase is an MRI.
