Sorry to hear about the ordeal with the flat and the "gentleman" on the corner. He may have been a jerk...or a jerk...or a jerk...or possibly totally clueless that his comment was uncalled for. I would've looked at him in total shock and said "WHAT?!?!?! This is meant for riding? And you can lose weight doing that? Get outta town mister! I was just taking Crimson Joy out for her morning walk."

On a lighter note, I love the names of your bike: Crimson Joy and Bonny Blue Bike!
