bike

Bought a used bike yesterday.

It's rusty but sturdy.

Maybe see a pic at:

(They might have taken it down by now.)

It's a man's blue road bike with skinny tires and rounded handle bars.

The seat is very high up. There's so much rust there I'm not sure I'll be able to lower it. Stupid previous owner. He left it in the backyard to face the elements. There were all these cobwebs on it too. I had to clean it off with a paper towel before I test rode it.

I used to have a soft gel seat cover which really helped my poor bum after a day's cycling. I have to find it. I don't think I sold it so it must be in the garage somewhere.

I biked to work today.

Guess how long.

C'mon, guess!

10 minutes. 10 minutes, can you believe it? That's practically the same as driving -- when you're caught at just one long light. It takes me 5 - 15 minutes driving, so 10 minutes on bike is pretty good.

I will now invest in a helmet.
