Did errands on my bike!

[Tri Girl]

Yay for you!!!! That's not silly at all- it's empowering!!!

Sometimes I feel a little smug when people are so incredulous at such a simple thing (to us, anyway), such as getting on a bike and riding home or doing errands.
I had to drop the car off to get new tires over Christmas break, and I said I was going to walk home and to call me when it was done. I only live 2 miles away, but they were flabbergasted that I was going to "walk the whole way home." Ummm... OK.

IMO it's kinda sad to me how the car has become SO thoroughly engrained in our lives (like a limb) that we think we can't survive without it, or don't see other options to a car when left without one. Sad we don't see other ways.

So congrats to you for finding that alternate form of transportation, and not having to wait around the smelly shop for hours on end waiting for your car. There's no need for a waiting room when you have two wheels!
