New Bike & Maybe Some Upgrades

December 28, 2008 – 12:35 pm

I finally got my replacement frame from Cannondale.  It’s the 2008 Cannondale Capo frame which is better than the 2009 abomination.  I covered up the Capo logo with some electrical tape because as I previously mentioned, I don’t find the name “Capo” terribly tasteful.

I’m trying to fix the maps section; Google has finally released the maps for Israel with street names but apparently there’s some sort of copyright problem with using the street names on websites with the google maps API.  weird; typical though.

The weather is getting cool (for Israel) so it’s a good time to ride.  Some riders in Jerusalem are night riding to explore the city which is always an exciting way to cover a city.  I don’t enjoy riding in Jerusalem because steep hills and track bikes don’t really mix too well.  But when I lived in Jerusalem for a bit it was a pleasant way to see the outskirts of the city and areas I wouldn’t have normally gone.

Tel Aviv is a much more enjoyable place to ride; the streets are flat and fast and there’s always something interesting to see.  Plus, riding in traffic is always a pleasure.

Now that I have my bike back and am riding 5 days a week again I’ll try to be more attentive to the site and make some much needed updates.
