Ok, so maybe that isn’t that earth-shattering of a statement, but I haven’t ridden a bike since 1998, so I’m pretty proud of myself. Last weekend, Danny went to Target with me to get a helmet, bike pump, reflector/blinking back light (butt-blinker), and a lock. Why do I need all of this crap? Because it’s me vs. the SUV and I want to be as tacky and eyecatching as possible.
So anyway, Danny checked my bike last night and took it for a test drive. My plan is to ride my bike down to Stanford soon and toodle around the campus. Before doing that, I decided to try it out in my neighborhood first. I was a little shaky, but then started smoothly cruising down the road. I felt like Forrest Gump when he learns to run and the braces break off his legs. It was fun.
