I do now -- tossed on a rack Monday and enjoyed every bit of the 24 mile round trip. I can't say I've felt that way in a long time! I'm a roadie at heart, but was going for utility. Because of it, I wasn't commuting as often as I would have liked.

They simply stole it for reasons of their own, and in my mind, there are very few reasons that I can think of that would justify bike theft.

It's taking a small portion of your life and owning it whether you like it or not. I don't care how small a portion it is I always feel defiled and dirtied. <br />I am unforgiving. <br />I am trying to be more enlightened about this but I am having a hard time at it.Oldfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688289425207257034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16992013.post-23908882718349525202012-02-11T12:38:52.226-06:002012-02-11T12:38:52.226-06:00You have a wonderful attitude.You have a wonderful attitude.Snakebitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879428992616238833noreply@blogger.com
