Sorry Faithful Readers, due to travel, class scheduling (Why did I book a class for Bakersfield Tuesday and San Diego Wednesday? That's almost 500 miles in two days. Way too much car time, dummy.) and some work-related legal matters I'm going to have to postpone Part Seven for about one week.
It'll be worth it though. It's amazing how much each space in a parking lot costs that business, and you as the consumer.
See you then!

Less Car; More Bike Part Six of Eight
Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live.- Mark Twain “Taming the Bicycle”
Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride. ~John F. Kennedy
In the last installment we focused on getting started. This time I’d like to note a few waypoints along your progress.
-The amazing value of Baby wipes!
-Pants clips, to keep your pant legs clean vs. the chain. Maybe you don't wear pants at work.
-Are you yelling “HAPPY MAN” at the guy who lives under the bridge, who yells “BIKE DUDE” and waves at you first?
-Where do you change clothes at work? The restroom is not the first choice, right...
-How you now carry your “stuff” (Phone, ID, lock, keys, etc)
-What have you forgotten behind, and had to ride back to pick up?
-Do you make sandwiches with Bagels now, since they’re harder to smash?
-How did you feel riding back from the movie theater, under a full moon?
-Hasn’t the route gotten easier? Can you predict exactly when you’ll arrive now?
-Are ALL your clothes fitting a little looser yet?
-Was it REALLY as bad as you thought it was?
-Have you gotten anyone else started in this process?
Your positive comments are welcomed, next time we’ll discuss how much a car costs per month. It’s a staggering amount, and may make you mad.
BTW- there's a famous bicycle race in France, going on right now. Here's a favorite moment. Note when Tyler Hamilton reminds Ullrich about sportsmanship.
