I rode my bike to work today. The official count is now up to 15 days that I've ridden. Unofficially, I think the number is a couple of rides higher. I'm not good at keeping records.
It was a bit chilly but nothing I couldn't handle. It was also dark which is a bit hazardous since I need to get new lights.
It seems like a small victory but I do have a real sense of accomplishment when I get to the bus. Then I have the chance to read the paper and enjoy my morning, as well as getting my breath back.
I would like to say I rode the bike today because I am so healthy. In truth, I am without my car. It is currently undergoing major engine surgery and it is quickly getting away from me. The head gasket blew. It was over heating.
The original quote was for $2400.00. I had to agonize over whether to fix it because it is very close to the line as far as how much the car is worth. It has now climbed another $900.00, and they're not done yet.
The good news is that I'm going to have a whole new top end of my engine when I'm done. The bad news is the money.
