Cycling

Two 2002 LeMond steel frames — the Zurich is my daily commuter and the Tourmalet is the backup. On weekends my wife and I explore the Boston area together, ranging from short loops around the Fells to longer rides out to Nahant, Castle Island, and beyond.

I service both bikes myself — cable swaps, brake and derailleur adjustments, bearing overhauls, and occasional full rebuilds. Both drivetrains run on hot-waxed chain: I strip the factory grease, melt wax in a slow cooker, and re-dip every few hundred miles. The drivetrain stays noticeably cleaner and quieter compared to wet lube, and touching up the wax mid-season is quick. Every bike I work on teaches me something new, which is a big part of why I enjoy it.
