Critical Mass passed outside my window before El Show Friday and it propelled me to finally get a bike. I forgot how freeing it is to cruise around the city. I went for a long bike ride and put my new old bike through the paces. It's an old school Schwinn 10 speed. All the old tricks started to come back. Flying down a bike lane, weaving in and out of traffic, keeping an eye out for doors, scowling at inattentive drives. It's so much more gratifying than driving and so much less stressful. After riding my bike for a while I think I'll only use my car to get groceries."When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race." ~H.G. Wells
