DSC_7841 - New Belgium Brewing Wonderbike, originally uploaded by Curtis Joe Walker.

I really like the style of this bike, especially the front rack and headlamp. It's been parked here for days, but bikes rarely get stolen if they're locked up. Even the minimum security combo lock on this bike will keep it safe. I also really like the big fat blackwall tires. It all just comes together nicely.

It appears to be part of some marketing scheme, and I think that New Belgium will trade you one for your car.

I lit this with a LED flashlight during a 30 second exposure.

• 09:40 Wow, I just found a 1080p camcorder (HDC-SD5) for $530. That's like half off retail. Maybe I'll get a video camera this year.... #

• 11:11 Oh, and I got the email server bac up. after repairing and defragging, the DB went from 16GB to about 2.5GB. Problem solved. #
• 21:02 Curtis Joe Walker and CJW have equal syllables. World Wide Web has three fewer syllables than its abbreviation. Odd! #

• 21:51 Maybe falling out of love happens just as fast as falling into it. I'll have to think about that one for a minute. #
• 21:52 I should go out tonight and find some old cars to photograph by flashlight. Beats going to a party or just sleepin.' #
• 01:00 Time moves much faster than I can cope with, lately. Maybe that's why I like photography and freezing time. Everything else is too fast. #

• 13:45 The air in Telluride is thin, thus impairing the flight ability of flies. They are no less annoying, but far easier to catch barehanded. #
