Bikes, Backs, and Caffeine. A simple blog with random thoughts about bicycles and coffee and the occasional bitch session about bad backs. Sunday, January 10, 2010. Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On! I had planned to FINALLY start updating this scree and let you know more about the surgery I underwent last August, but then something a little more important came up. And here's a video from inside the Arcata Co-op. I will write about my recovery from surgery soon. And this time, I mean it! Follow me on Twitter.

Well, the call did NOT go as planned. I really do not understand; why, if he didn't want to do surgery, did he have me get two "second opinions? It's bee...
