You BROTHER owns a BIKE SHOP!!! <---- fuming with jealously over here.

Seriously, enjoy your new ride. I wish I had a captive mechanic.

Onto the secondary topic, I knit, too!!! My friend taught me last year, and I love it. I'm supposed to be knitting a sweater (I have the yarn and the pattern), but I've been spending too much on fitness stuff to buy the cable needles I need. So I'm currently knitting a shawl instead using a very easy pattern. But my favorite thing to knit is socks because they are so comfy, the yarn is cheap because you don't need a lot, and they don't take too long to knit, either.
