First, we have a 9spd disk capable hub.. the disk #rotor being replaced with a 16 tooth cog..

Next we have the red double fixie.. a double disk hub with both rotors being replaced with 16 tooth cogs..

The #purpose of having #gears on a boat.. a Pedal Powered boat is to maximize the physiological changes my body will be going through as I pedal for 10 to 16 hours each day. When #CHARGED, I can slide in to 9th and #chunder.. when #GASSED I can slide up to first and nearly coast- but always be making #pressured #progress!

#abuse can cause debilitating pain.. and I am not really near absolution.. but I am working on my own self right now and #oceancyclist is a vehicle for artistic, spiritual, and personal growth. #follow to learn more about mental health, sustainability.. and how the #AlphaMale #Domineering #Ideology is so #inaccurate and #WRONG.

I also told SparkleFaerie that you *cant* shoot an out of focus shot w/ the F5.. she proved me wrong 😉

She also #proved me #wrong in that she is the #mother of my child.. and a whole lot more than that. So, I #celebrate her each and every day and thank her for #deciding that I was #worthwhile enough to spend the rest of her life with.. it’s been a long, #strange journey but she’s still there.. every #morning.via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DNYr41ayD3x/

The Mad Hatter.. Cyclist.. just before I went on ZOOM to teach some needle felting

one small step for.. pedalisticss.. cyclisticalism.. meanderment… Having mounted the Transmission and the Captains Seat I can see… my view out foreward, the space allowed.. and all considerations needed!

Space is defintiely minimal but more than I thought originally.. time, now, to do an EPOXY POUR for the Transmission Mast, Seat Beams.. and other small parts- EPOXY mixed with carbon CHOP for added strength.

morning comes early when car camping.. determined to enjoy the minimal space even if it isnt fully dialled for journey.. thats what you get when you get a new- to- you vehicle on The Island, drive straight back to HOME.. and then turn around and drive to calgary for an art show with @teenytinyartcollective .. the show Art Walk is Saturday at 1pm, meeting in front of the Audio Shop. Gonna be fine!!!!

baby steps.. finally signed on w/ TipTapPay to help smooth out P2P donations- tap ur bank card and donate $10 to OceanCyclist .. heading to markets, door to door canvassing and reaching out to Bike Shops to have them host the display at checkout.. pretty psyched!

I’ll be in #yyc for a couple weeks for an #artexhibit with @teenytinyartcollective and working on TheBoat while there.. so,

i need models to wear merch for catalogue placements.. to get rid of the #craptastic #canned photos supplied.. to show a more #fun side of a serious project..

in #quesnel for the night, stopped off @barkervillebeer for a couple of pints with @dandylynnstudio .. i’d say ‘road beers’ but we’re officially off the road for the day in our new- to- us van as we head back to the Skeena Valley to work work work… look for Ryan somewhere westerly along the #yellowhead after ThePig (PG, Man!) and take him #further for wider #discoveriesvia Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DLwBGklRbfg/
