did a loooong commute today I had chores to get done in holland strapped all the crap to the rack and rode back to allendale cool thing was a might my neighbor at a local coffee shop he filled me up with organic lemonade don't think I could do any better I love the fact of having a beater I don't have toworry about so much ( I just need to get home on it thats all ) having a rack is so pleasing then I dont have to pay some one to take me out some where or having to go get the car from the parents got to get groceries tonight no panniers yet for the rack so I might be strapping a grocery bag to the top of the rack. Any one ever get called a messenger while on their bike is this a good thing or not?
