Training wheels

Eight years in, Portland's really rubbing off on me. The latest proof: Got a new bike today. I am about as excited as I was when I got my first real bike as a little boy. Which is to say very excited. Here's what it looks like: As soon as warmer weather decides to stick around, I'm going to start riding at least part of the way to work. If I don't ride the full 10 or so miles in, I'll at least ride to the MAX and go from there. Either way, soon I won't be sitting in traffic on I-5, burning gas, wasting money and losing time. Plus, I'll be healthier, too.
