Please wear your helmet

If I've learned anything in the past 18 hours, it's that one should always wear a helmet when riding on a 2 wheeled vehicle. I was on my bike, last night, and I got hit by a negligent car. My helmet probably saved me from brain damage, if it didn't save my life on the whole... So yeah, please wear your helmet and bike safely. (And yes, I'm okay, just bruised in the shoulder and my head's a little sore).

I <3 my bicycle

Seriously, though. This whole biking thing... I can't believe I went for so long without! Good exercise, good fun... :)

<3 the bike

Bike commute!

It's official. I have *finally* dragged myself out of bed early enough, on a nice day, to start riding my new bike to work. I am no cyclist, and my legs feel like jelly, but... it's a start. :) And I solicit no back pats. I'm just patting *myself* on the back. I shall now start saving gas money! Woot! This means I will be saving energy that comes from the ground, and instead using my own... Well, at least mine's renewable. And it better damn well stop raining!

Okay, I'm done.

I has a bike!

It's fun, but it's so tiny that it can't fit real fenders!

And... if you hate on the fact that it's not a fixed gear, I'll hate back on you for having a fixed gear :)

So there. :-P
