I’ve just been vacuuming. Oh joy.
Just went on a grand adventure to test the new bike luggage (panniers) that arrived in the package yesterday. I loaded ‘em with books and went to the library, then to work to pick up a week’s worth of laundry, then rode to the bike shop and got some gloves (it’s good to have more than one pair...allows for things like, say, washing...), the (free) new county bike map, and a very basic headlight just to help me be seen as the days get shorter. Then I came home.
This was the bike shop where I bought my mountain bike, and where I’ve never felt like I was taken seriously. Really felt good to come cruisin’ in there, knowing I’d come fifteen miles or so to get there, albeit by a bit of a roundabout route. And now I know it’s easy to get there by bike, if I ever get to the end of the day at work and discover I’ve had a slow tire leak or something and need a tube or some help.
Now to clean up a bit and have a nice cold Vernors...
