One of these days I'm going to get up the guts to ask for a wheelchair and then put my helmet on as they wheel me down the hall.


Love the visual! If they had a wheelchair with the fluid bag hanger, you could hang the helmet up high!


To clarify, I usually do ride to early morning appointments like 7:30 dentist appointments. However, our locker room and showers are closed for cleaning for an hour starting at 9:30. Had I cycled in, I'd have arrived right about ... 9:30. Easier to take the long way home tonight.
