The Canon S90, though, is one very cool little camera that has a lot of DSLR features and user controls in a pocket size package. <br /><br />I've been reading you for years, and I'm so happy you've landed in a good spot. The whole tone of your blogs have changed for the better. The scenery is just a picturesque and I'm sure winter will bring enough snow to make you happy.<br /><br />I just wish you'd throw some new music our (my) way! I used to find all sorts of interesting new stuff when you'd list what you were listening to, or include a track on one of your ride videos.<br /><br />Keep pedalling!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564635813275076522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-20334907412735815612010-07-27T14:58:47.412-06:002010-07-27T14:58:47.412-06:00Hi Jill,

I think that site will flow the text properly without all the weird formatting you see on your screen. I use a super small laptop and sometimes my friends' blogs are squished in the way you mention.

I really just threw the bike together in the 20 minutes I had before I needed to leave for my weekend trip to Kalispell, just because I was so excited. I already see how ridiculously upside down it is.<br /><br />As for riding the fixie with flat pedals/riding a fixie at all, my plan for this bike right now is literally just commuting around Missoula, which is located in a wide river valley and is pancake flat in town. I'll have to really try to ride this thing on hills (and even then only if I choose to ride it up a canyon.) So right now I'm not too worried about losing control of the pedals or spinning out my knees.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-51676201455254359822010-07-26T09:16:31.003-06:002010-07-26T09:16:31.003-06:00Put the brake on any side you like.

You should post Contessa on 'fixed gear gallery'.<br /><br />Some unsolicited advice for you to take or leave: I've found fast descents on a fixie far less hairy when my feet are attached to the pedals. Power grips, or even half-clips are good if you don't want to go clipless.
