So today I decided I was going to go on a bike ride.
Went into the garage and dug out my bike, got it out, put WD-40 all over it, walked it to the gas station and got air in the tires.

Downside?

I haven't ridden a bike since 1997. That time, I hated it so much, I got off the bike and WALKED it the 10k home. It was so uncomfortable.

Dave had a nice gel seat, but I didn't put it on the bike, and now I can't find it among all our stuff. So I've been to a couple stores trying to find a replacement, and they all have weird, anatomical features... like, a lot of them are women's seats, and there's a strategic hole for ventilation and I'm sorry, it looks too much like the part it's supposed to protect. I would feel my bike seat was indecent. I'd have to put underwear on it before i could take it out in public.

Ah well. Maybe I'll get way into biking, and I'll lose tons of weight and become a skinny chick. Is this a worthy experiment? Perhaps. I plan on riding around everywhere this summer and seeing what happens...

But I'm not buying any expensive accessories until I've figured out whether I like biking or not. :)
