Instant gratification is going straight from work to City Bikes in Adams Morgan, the best bike store in DC in one of the city’s hippist neighborhoods, and walking back out onto Columbia Ave with a brand new pair of lovely Profile AirWing bullhorn handlebars. Long term frustration ensued, however, as the mosquito infested front yard on Calvert Street played host to a rather pathetic attempt to mount the new crown on the new-used urban transport machine.

Need a different size bolt for the stem of the bars, apparently. I’m looking forward to riding the hood with these bad boys, all the way up the mountain from Foggy Bottom to Glover Park.
