Went to the Walmart tonight. It's what Southerners do when they are bored. Found a $99 "Fixie Thruster" in the bike rack, just my size...



Hardly anyone was in the store and so decided to take it for a test ride. Had to hold my camera with one hand and steer with the other...


Was a lot of fun and the two ladies working in the toy section didn't seem to mind so I headed out again. Wanted to dial it up to 400 watts and so left the camera in my pocket. I made it past the TV's and cellphones, around the video game section, past the cribs and strollers and then droped the hamer in the wide yogurt/milk aisle. Went pretty good even with flat tires but I couldn't get it to skid. Walmart bristles with security cameras and so I figured I was pressing my luck - headed back to sporting goods via the women's underwear section, racked the bike and no one in the store seemed to care.

Man that was fun! Laughed until I cried. Makes me want to buy a Go Pro.
