Why should anyone steal a watch when he could steal a bicycle? ~Flann O'Brien
This is one of those capital "t" truths. (Not like the lowercase t necklaces that Maybe was looking for...). After having my bike stolen last fall, I finally made another investment and got a bike today. Its a Raleigh Sport. Its black with a bit of orange on it. I am trying to think of a name for it now - Wilma has been suggested - but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Because of the black and orange coloring, I'm thinking of something halloweenish - maybe Sally (Nightmare before Christmas). I think my first ride will provide me with time to think about it. Its been raining today so I'm not going to take her out, which is horribly frustrating, but tomorrow looks good. For now, I need to figure out where my watch is...

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle. ~Ernest Hemingway
