And i put a ring-a-ding-ding bell on it. It's pretty rad. Every time I've had it out riding (to the library or to deliver food to the missionaries, etc), I get looks... envious looks from the neighborhood kids. and i just smile and ring my bell as i pass on by. And no, i refuse to buy a helmet. An entire childhood was spent on various bikes and i've got no concussion or brain damage to speak of... so. Up the rules!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462610684257039891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-52620712758492964982008-08-14T10:51:00.000-04:002008-08-14T10:51:00.000-04:00I would LOVE to get some of those!

Everyone will think there are a couple of motorcycles outside for sure!<BR/><BR/>You should definitely get some of these for your bike.

Then you'll probably be like "that was so easy" and ride every day. And then you can get some nice tight bike shorts and jersey. And then all the sudden you will be the hot biker girl that everyone beeps at on their way to work in the morning while wishing they could be that cool. And you can jam to your metal the entire way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-14219120880337385312008-08-13T21:31:00.000-04:002008-08-13T21:31:00.000-04:00Platt Road - especially at your intersection is da...Platt Road - especially at your intersection is dangerous even for cars! So yeah, it'd be really scary for you! Michigan Ave is too risky too! Let's face it, you don't live in a safe biking area :(Elizabeth Downiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985143085882983821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-80942037849147089322008-08-13T21:01:00.000-04:002008-08-13T21:01:00.000-04:00I've often thought about riding my bike to work, b...I've often thought about riding my bike to work, but am worried for my safety along Platt Road in the mornings...I wish there were better sidewalks/bike paths! I think riding to Subway would be fun, but again, wondering about safety along Michigan Ave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-76910660310291439642008-08-13T19:21:00.000-04:002008-08-13T19:21:00.000-04:00Man, Elizabeth!

I made a complete fool of myself earlier this summer when I tried to get going at a traffic light and my foot slipped off my pedal. I am nothing if not graceful! I also abhor the "pit of death" and fear for my life when I get stuck there!!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421409632244031191noreply@blogger.com
