My Bicycle Musings

Felt fairly cruddy this morning, but I rode the bike anyway. But only 3.6 miles. Going home things were looking up, I found all this stuff on the side of the road!



Better than money, something I can use! These puppies go for $5.00 bucks a piece on eBay!

You may or may not want to pop over to the Bike Thoughts Page on my Bicycle web site to see some thoughts on stuff I've over the yars.

Just after I loaded all these goodies in the pannier a guy in full kit caught me at a red light. He asked if I commuted, I said yes, he said the was great, he wished he could. I demurely said I don't go that far, we wished each other well, and the light turned green. Cool!

I managed to get my ten on the odometer for today. Tomorrow is grocery day, so I get to drive! And a clean vehicle at that, as M. and I gave it its first bath last Saturday!

The blogs I read seem to always be "stealing" things that happen to me. Things I didn't think to write about. The Fat Cyclist wrote the other day about things that fly. And he did a much better job than I would have. Heh, he's a professional!

But he didn't mention anything about puking. When anything zooms into my mouth, my gag relflex kicks in and I puke! Kind of a dry puke. It's truly amazing! Kkkaaaehhh, Kkkaaaeeehhhhh!!

Another thing he doesn't talk about is wearing ones bike shorts twice. Like on consective (or not) days. Does anyone else do this but me? How disgusting is it?
I figure, if I commute one hour (that's rounding UP!) one day, then another hour another day, that's the same as a two hour ride. So I wear them two days, and throw them in the wash (warsh). Here's a picture of a pair after day one:



Now, truly I wouldn't wear them for THREE days, that WOULD be disgusting!

Eh, you make not want to enlarge that particular image...
