Either I need to stop reading Bicycling Magazine and Bicycling Science by D.G. Wilson before I sleep, or I have deep-seated anxiety about working on my bike.

I think I need to get my health insurance to cover the one week Level 1 bike mechanics class at UBI (www.bikeschool.com) If my case is severe, and my mental health is truly jeopardized (which it is, as anyone could attest!) I will need insurance to cover the Level 2 class, too.


I so totally want to do that class! I have been looking at that for years.

Cycle Pyschoanalysis:

This afternoon, after having a couple of rum and tonics and sitting in the sun watching DH's tennis match, I come home to lounge on the couch with the Vino edition of Cycle Sport. Love Vino. Read the article. DH is at the computer pricing forks. There's a cool breeze coming in, I can hear the hypnotic hum of the computer, and my eyes slowly sink shut. I am descending a curvy mountain road, and my front wheel suddenly goes out from under me - and I fall to the pavement, jerking awake just before impact.
