Yesterday was eventful, I bought a sliding bike for a hundred dollars from a cop.

Sliding bikes are engineered wonders. In comparison with a folding bike whose folds actually make the frame weaker and thus more unstable. The sliding bike actually has a reinforced body and is compact via telescoping technology rather than folding.

The bike is perfect for traveling! Mine is Korean made, got it off a cop from Craigslist. He didn’t want it anymore so I thought why not? It would had cost me close to 500 dollars if I had bought it from Korea. Plus the bike will be getting me around a lot.

As I traverse the highways of the good ol US of A there might be times where there just isn’t going to be any rides. It helps to know that I can speed up the process with this bike while hitchhiking. When someone does pull over I can just telescope it down into their trunk. Easily fitting into any sedan.

My main problem is smart cars. All I can hope for is that I will meet the good ol’ American citizen with a heart throb for fossil fuel consumption with sedans and similar fuel burning cars.

I am leaving PHX AZ on Tuesday, it doesn’t appear I will have any easy way of getting to Utah.So should be an interesting traverse across the desert.

This Saturday I am going to a lake where my 2nd cousin is, some electrician I’ve never met before. The lake is full of floating boat-islands and bars and such interesting marinal party-time outfits such as those. I’ll take pictures but as any durable reader has noticed, I’ve been far too lazy in uploading y pics onto here haha.

Well, off to use my sliding bike. It is a brilliant design!!
