LOL. I work at home. We bought it so that I could run errands around town since our 2nd car died.
Another question:
We have a bike/walk trail right next to us that used to be a old rail road bed. It used to have a good bit of gravel that was packed down pretty well (though some of the rocks were rail road rocks). Now they took a bull dozer through and the ground is really soft and sandy/really loose dirt with very little gravel. When I was biking down it today, I was sort of sliding to the side, almost as though my bike couldn't get a grib on the ground or something or sort of like skidding on ice. Should I wait to bike on it until the ground gets packed more or is that typical of bike trails?
