    The flowers didn't work....

    Someone got dumped last night on Valentine's Day.

    Saw a bouquet of flowers dumped on the side of the road this morning on my ride in. Bummer.

    Or, they could have been left on the roof of the car when he was loading in the giant heart shaped box of chocolates.

    Either way, it's sad.

    I love that we've already made up 2 stories to explain the flowers on the road. That's one of the things I love about biking, even more so with walking, is making up stories to explain things.

    Here's a silly one I made up about a couple kids' bikes that had been left out in the yard.

    Yeah, but I still can't come with a good story to explain the big pile of sweet potatoes I one time saw on a ride!

    A body was hidden in a sweet potato delivery truck, and the killer had to dig to find it because his unique lapel pin was stuck in the corpse's hand.

    Okay, I stole that from Hitchcock.

    I saw owl porn and pretty much got dusted by a unicycle on my commute this evening... yes it was a surreal sort of day....

    I bought my first road bike a few months ago and use usually on the weekends, but I commuted for the second time today to work. I feel great and am able to get in 1.5 hr of exercise I wouldn't have got normally. No stops or problems today whereas the first commute last week my chain fell off twice.

    Fantastic! I hope you have many chain-problem-free commutes.
