He looks forward to being in the woods more often, exploring the great biking trails available in the School’s backyard, and taking on adventures (and big jumps) with the team. The Breezer Bike brand was started in the 70’s by Joe Breeze. He is credited with designing and building some of the first mountain bikes. His first, Breezer #1, is housed at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
The same doctor who’d told me I’d be fine still said I was fine. I’d told the doc about the fever and running off into the woods, but I left out the part about the blood and the deer. I didn’t want to get locked in the loony bin. I was worried about rabies so I went to the doc and got the shots.
Now I should note that this is something that make Superior, Wisconsin different from Seattle or Portland or Eugene. Here in Superior, you can leave a bike locked to a lightpost with a flimsy lock and it will stay untouched for a month. In those other cities I mentioned, the bike would be stolen or stripped within hours. Now I should be clear, I didn’t strictly need this bike.
I have both front and rear brakes with really good brake pads and I use them PLUS my legs to slow down and stop. The two pictures above show my first cut at customisation. The mirror, the bell, the light, the yellow cable housing, the bar tape and the Jandd frame bag were all things I had in my bike shed. I really wanted to make the bike into a fixed gear, but it turned out the one thing I didn’t have in my parts stash was a fixed cog. But when I posted about my initial conversion on my blog, my pal Steve in Minneapolis dug through his parts stash, found a 16 tooth Surly fixed cog and dropped it in the mail to me. You’ve got a problem that I don’t have and I’m sure that’s a bitch, but dude, I suggest you stop stealing bikes.
I ran for the woods and you’re damn lucky I made it there and found an unlucky deer. Once I got the bloodlust out of my system, I turned my attention to the problem of recovering my bike. Except last night, I stopped at a 7-11 on my way out of town. I was thirsty and stopped in for a root-beer. I didn’t think some junky would pinch my bike in the couple of minutes I was in the store.
Then it looks me right in the eye and I belatedly realize that this dog is a wolf and I figure I’m dead. At Kona, we’re all about the freedom and empowerment of the bicycle. We’re still populated kent bicycles by a staff of keen, active, impassioned cyclists. Just a dedicated group of cyclists making bicycles for people who love bikes-no matter if that love is new or long established.
Also, unlike many bicycles and other products, I cannot find any problem trends from the reviews. The majority of low reviews did not indicate that the KZ2600 has any underlying problem. In 1986, Kent’s futuristic thinking guided him to develop rear suspension for his bikes called YBB (Why Be Beat).
