You lucked out today, I didn't ride the bike into work today because I had some things I needed to use my car for. Tomorrow, I might take the long way home!
have you decided whether you're taking a bike back from you trip yet?
I think I am going to do that. It is not until next summer so I have time to think about it, but the more I look at the bikes sold in Europe, the more I want one. Right now it is more of a case as to what bike to get (which, of course depends on my budget). I am actually going to Europe in September for work (Zurich and London) and I hope to have a little free time to check out some of the bikes I might want more closely.
