I always enjoy that trip. Gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day, the fresh air and the scenic gorge, even if it means that big uphill climbing out of the Norman’s Kill Ravine. But come the time change, it will be dark by the time I get out of work most days, so I won’t be able to ride home from work. That said, I do plan to ride on in on mornings when it’s still decent out and can take my bicycle home on the bus.
Blackie, my new mountain bike
Researching high-quality bicycle U-locks annoys me 🔏
I am fully aware I need a good quality U-lock for my new bicycle, Blackie, especially if I do plan to ride downtown to work from time to time, but the idea of spending $50-100 and carrying around a heavy lock just to ensure that criminals with bolt cutters don’t run off with my bike really pisses me off, because I worked hard to afford that bicycle, and I shouldn’t have to spend a bunch more money to keep criminals from stealing what is rightfully mine.
