I said, "Kid, I didn't have a vehicle for many years, so I sorta had to. Now, I've got a vehicle, but I ride to save gas and to lower my blood sugar level." I could have added, but didn't, "It give me something to complain about, and sometimes it's actually fun!"
Biked four days to work this week, I managed to accumilate 48.87 miles on the possibly overly optimistic Jamis odometer.
The ride to work was ok, but I only saw three people on bicycles.
But...
I was going down a hill, preparing to turn right. I was in the right turn lane. Naturally. Because I'm turning right, right? Picture this, now. Ms. (For the sake of argument) Aggressive-Black-Car-Who-Works-At-Babies-R-Us-On-Fletcher-Parkway comes up behind me, they wanna turn right, but, you know, I'M in the way. So they stay in the go-straight lane, with their turn signal on (?!?). They start to turn right, I give them THE LOOK™ and turn right. THE LOOK™ that says, "I'm SO SORRY I'm delaying you for FIVE SECONDS"...
I've seen this car many times, they are always in a BIG HURRY.
Today I wore my 2002 Bike To Work shirt.
After a very pleasant ride home I posed in the back yard for this memorable pic, just for you!
I found a big rock for the garden, you can see it in the basket. My theory of gardening, if there's a rock there, weeks can't grow there

My goodness! You look like a different man from the guy I met many years ago!!! I guess gone are the days of strawberry ice cream topped with chocolate syrup and nacho Doritos! Your 5 year old BTWD shirt is holding up fairly well. As for Ms. ABCWWAT@BRU incident, I can completely invision THE LOOk you gave her!
