big bike back

Today was the first day with my regular Dahon. One big difference is that the seat is much kinder to my butt & crotch as I think the seat of the small one was made of samsonite. One advantage to the little one, however, was the gears. That was nice. Oh, well, I think I'd rather have the bigger wheels. I move equally fast on both of them, though.

I did ride on Friday also, but didn't have time to document anything.

Today there was one interesting development: this was the first time I saw the traffic light on 31st between 7th & 8th. Not sure if it was completely necessary or even a smart move but what the heck?

It rained too hard yesterday morning for me to act on it and though the weather channel was sure of rain, I rolled the dice and won as there was barely a drop this morning and nothing at all on the way back.

I'm reading This Side of Paradise, which was F. Scott Fitzgerald's first novel. It's okay so far, but if I ever met most of his characters I'm quite sure I'd beat the shit out of them. Of course, they were all aristocrats (or wannabes) so odds are I wouldn't have met them anyway. I will have more insightful things to think about tomorrow.

Thank you for reading.
