My personal vehicle, a 1994 Corolla has 302K miles yet I'm contemplating which will be my next bike. That Ritte frameset, or a TI frame. Ugh.

What I find weird, and sad, are all the people who hide things from their wife. I wonder what their wives are hiding from them?

At the grocery store yesterday, I watched one of the workers wheel her bike out of the employee area and across the store to the door. I thought it was pretty cool, they let her keep it inside. Maybe I'll try it.

While I don't have a problem locking up my bike outside places like restaurants and movie theaters, I do bring my bike inside my local happy hour spot all the time. It's for convenience and not out of fear of theft. As for grocery stores, I have brought my bike inside several times while on tour. I always ask first. I usually leave it within sight of a cashier. Not really worried too much about a customer trying to leave the store with a bike loaded down with 40 lbs. of gear.

I've yet to have any of those things happen with my cats. They're both too old for that kind of stuff.

When we moved to a house without a garage, we had to have a second shed built for storage because my bikes took up all the space in the original tool shed.

Having to make sure my swimming trunks are longer than my bike shorts and having to wear a shirt to the beach. If I don't wear a shirt I leave the beach with beautiful brown arms and a lobster tan in the shape of a shirt.

Having to explain that my idea of a relaxing vacation includes >200 miles of cycling. Often the response is, "I like to sit my butt in a chair on the beach, I'd never consider riding a bike 50+ miles a day relaxing." People just don't get it.
