Level Up! Literally. Today after complaining that I wasn't getting much "oomph" behind my pedals, I raised my seat a good two inches. The problem I'd been having was I'd pedal, but it was a LOT of effort to push the pedals down. I figured it was just all the weight I'd gained since I last got on the bike back in the...wow...20th Century.
After a while, the pedaling never got easier, so I started thinking that maybe I wasn't getting good leverage on the pedals. I pulled the seat up a good two inches and while now it's a little harder to actually GET on the bike, suddenly, each pedal push is FLYING me forward.
I was riding down a road and noticed my legs getting tired. I figured I wasn't used to the new seat, but I was still getting good power behind the pedals. I figured maybe I was just pushing a few muscles that hadn't ben pushed in a while...but when I turned aqround, suddenly I was goin down hill. With the amount of "push" I had now, it didn't even register I was going up hill. ROCK.
In more mundane news - I mowed the lawn using an new old-style lawn mower. Wow, they're NICE. It's just as hard to push a motor lawnmower, and you don't need any gas or oil. And in 90 degree heat, you lose weight. :) The only down thingy about it is it doesn't cut grass if it's taller than 4 inches.
In art news, I've made the new wallaper for June, an AWFW themed one. Hopefully it'll be more popular than the May one (Not a single donation! :( )
Well duh:
