    Imagine trying to outride that?! I bet I'd be faster. Maybe I should look into getting one of those.

    Oakleaf, lol! There is no way in H E double toothpicks I would go anywhere NEAR this bike. Just today I was out esplorin' the back roads and guess what I came upon? At least 3 dozen bee boxes right next to the side of the road and the bees were very busy. I had to pedal like the dickens to get out of there ASAP!

    this weekend a bee flew into my mouth and stung me in the inside of the lip as I was riding. it was quite anxiety provoking to be trying to spit the bee out instead of inhaling it while also concentrating on not swerving into the minivan that was passing me. ick.
