road out to fort tilden beach in the far rockaways today. had the marks rack with a medium size basket loaded up in a major way. ten pounds of locks, five pounds of water, and five to ten pounds of beach related items. The bike handled a bit loosey goosey at first but i got used to it after a block or so. in fact the hilsen handled this load better than i anticipated, made it through some hairy parts of brooklyn and eventually to the beach. as we were hurriedly leaving, i realized that my marks rack had wiggled its way to the front of the mounting strut causing the strut to bend thus compressing the silver brakes and impeding my front wheel. as i was readjusting restrapping and resecuring my load so i could free the brake. a rivver on an atlantis and his friend rolled up. they asked how i liked the bike etc i was so brain fried from the heat and frazzled by my rack sitution, that i think i was a bit curt. i didn't get to say how much i loved the bike, and how well it handles doing things that it is and sometimes isn't supposed to do anyway if any of you was this person, i'm sorry for seeming cold. i was actually hot, but anyhow i love the bike, and long for fall. jamison brosseau
