Urbana-Champaign Bicycle Commute

Happy Easter!

Plastic Gatorade bottles make great sunflower vases.

Bike: 1400 car: 600

Bicycle Meditations including "Get of the F*ing Road!"

HOkeyspokes are being hokey... one won't turn off and it shouldn't be low on batteries (which is what I thought the mystery factor was). They're a good idea but perhaps not ready for prime time.

BLENDER HAS ARRIVED. Perhaps this afternoon...it has already served an important function, I suspect; I've worn out the brake pads already so I"ll be getting a rear wheel built (a 36-spoker, but don't be staring at my nipples, now!) with a disk brake... so now the bike shop folks know I really am willing to spend money on the thing (heck, if I can "afford" a blender, I should be able to put as much into brakes and wheels, eh?)
