Is this ironic?
I've spent the last 2 weeks modifying an old rigid MTB to be my utility bike. I have it about 90% completed, just waiting to the new B17 to arrive today or tomorrow. Anyway I did this for fun but also to use for running errands around town as a way to use my car less. My first errand with it was to go to the bank to deposit my tax rebate check.
Many of the goverment policies have made it neccesary to cut back or eliminate driving, not all bad. But it just seems rather ironic that as I make changes to cope with the economic realities, the goverment sends me a check. I laughed all the way to the bank and back...on my bike!:D
