Hey hey!!
Why Thrown Chain? My commuter bike drops/throws the chain at least 2x a week (hell, it did it twice on Friday). The bike is thrashed up from commuting, and putting the chain back on means my hands get filthy. That’s life for you – sometimes you just gotta get your hands dirty.

I love bullet points, so that’s what I’m gonna do.

• I live in Los Angeles, by the ocean. That means I get to bike on a bike path with palm trees and surfers and ocean breezes. It’s pretty awesome.
• I’m a transplant from Massachusetts. I really miss New England. Yes, I’m peeved the Lakers won. GO RED SOX
• I LOVE cycling. This blog is about trials and tribulations of working towards a double century (200 miles), training for a triathlon, and life in general. Yay for ultra distance cycling?
• Hoping to use this blog to post reviews, etc, about the wonderful world of cycling
• I also love cats. I have two kittens right now. They are disturbingly cute.
• Gangster rap has rotted my brain, so you will see a lot of slang in my blog.
• I am not a skinny hip Wheelman hammering all over the city – child bearing hips will never let me past a certain size pants (not sharing that), but I can do a century and crush you with my legs.
