Fox Trails

One my trip back to Illinois hit a larger bump while driving through an intersection. This bump was large enough that it caused the rear end of Nora (my sisters 97 Aurora ) to bounce like that bear in the youtube video where it falls out of at tree on to a trampoline, then soars a good 10 feet before finally landing firmly on the ground below. This large bump was not a problem for Nora, seeing her large frame and boat like appearance can handle pretty much any size wave. It was however a problem for the old Peugeot bike that was on the low profile home made bike rack which rested in the hitch of the vehicle. Upon crashing into this monster of a wave, the steel front wheel of my bike ironically met its nemesis, the pavement. This contact left the front wheel in a bit of a "S" shape. A great shape for jib rails, but not so good for smooth efficient pedaling. Thus, Today I purchased and new alloy wheel, changed out the tire and tube, and took her for a spin around the ole' subdivision. Enjoy. 

This was shot with a Flip Ultra HD (thus the shakiness of the film) The music is from Ratatat.
