My new flame

Drafting yourself.
Is that a euphemism? Sort of like cleaning his chain?

hmmm... that one could hit close to home

You can imagine it handles **totally** differently from the Xtracycle. In fact I think I skidded it a bit stomping forward from a stop sign on painted pavement. at 25 pounds it's incredibly lighter than my commuting bicycles, which are all I've ridden for months.

It's a little squirrelly to me - because of the contrast between it and the looong bike - but when it squirreled... welp, it squirrelled right back because it's so tiny and responsive! So I think I will get used to it pretty quickly. I'm not sure how much I'll ride it to work, at least while it's so new that to me it would tempt somebody... oh, yea, and it doens't have lights. I had one around that I got from steepandcheap but it seems to have a defective mounting system ... but I will go by the bike shop and see what they have to say about it.

Now to sneak home a few minutes early and get in a few extra miles... H-484 but not counting 16 so far today... (H = Howard)
