Xtracycle comes through again
 

Apparently my sweet sweet wife got tired of riding bikes, skating hills and just goofing off in general all the time (I have no problem with this, but she is a little more industrious than I am) and went back to work part time. Being a dental hygienist, she has pretty flexible options and it sounds like she's only going to go back one or two days a week, so I'm allowing it.....

She is enjoying being productive so far, but a big drawback is that the way the office is situated, there's no real place to park her bike! This will never do, so we came up with a solution - pull out the old bike rack. Xtracycle comes through again!

I ride in with her, then haul the bike home, then ride back into work in the afternoon with the bike and we ride home together. This is what we did when she worked full time before, except she had a place to park her bike at that office.

The plan in action -

Slick!

A bit difficult to explain to the cops if they don't already know you?

how elegant!

Too kewl! Hmm, maybe I can make a buck rescuing stranded cyclists with my BD!

Holy love! :)

That's fantastic.

That's so nice!

That has just GOT to screw with the cagers.

I really can't wait to:

a) get an xtracycle
b) become less car dependent and by September car free

just 'cause I can't wait to screw with the status quo.


That is awesome. One more answer to the "but don't you need a car when..."

How do you balance that?

I'd take 2 bikes, but then you'd need 2 people to ride them back with you.

Just curious how humorous you wanted your first paragraph to be?

^^^I think the dotted line was his more subtle version of a smiley.

I was joking, she can work as much as she likes. I have no problem with extra income OR having her around :D
