Fine and Freddish this morning. I spent last evening building up my tri bike and as I was debating with myself over red or white bar tape (or maybe red on the bullhorns and white on the aerobars), I realized that I was dangerously close to OCPness.
So the antidote is to ziptie a milkcrate to the Bomber and cinch up the pant cuffs with packing tape for the ride to work. And ride in very casually. It was just great.
There was a story in the Bee yesterday about high gas prices and how some people are actually forced to take public transportation or carpool! Shocking. (Not a word about bike commuting, though.) My first reaction was "Have gas prices gone up? [read in Johnny Carson voice] I did not know that. "
