    Bouillabaisse Bicyclist Restaurant Critic Rides Again

    I've been busy writing blogs about bicycles!

    Okay, picture this. I walk into a VERY upscale restaurant wearing my bicycle helmet, a battered velour vest, and dragging my loaded panniers spilling out cameras, books, and rain gear.

    Was I greeted with HORROR? Find out here.

    And then I tackled what it really means to give up your car and do EVERYTHING on a bicycle. Guess how many hours of planning and execution it took to attend a one hour meeting? It's astonishing!

    Such things make me admire the members of Team Estrogen even more.

    Now I have to get back to a search for a pilot of a tandem bicycle to take a blind cyclist out for a ride in Newark, Delaware. Won't some of you MOVE TO DELAWARE, please?

    I love Newark! We stopped there for a night on the way home from Hilton Head one year. I wish I had eaten at this place. Maybe next time.

    Great review, Pardes! Have you considered not telling them you are a restaurant critic? Apparently the pros wear disguises, etc. I don't know if it's really necessary to take things that seriously -- just a thought!

    No, I usually don't tell them. In this case I had already been in the restaurant for some time and was treated royally BEFORE I mentioned it.

    I'm hankering for their pan seared rabbit right now.

    What the bike outfit and helmet aren't disguise enough?

    Ok, now I want to move to Delaware!

    And Pardes, you have me feeling ashamed of my shopping spree by car yesterday afternoon, which was solely so that I could do my regular bike commute without a backpack large enough for a pfd to fit inside. I'll try not to do it again
