beware of the bike.

commute to work. grey and dreary the morning was just a prelude to the long autumn and winter to come. it made me think of quaint autumn rides passing by farm houses, down twisty roads scattered with fallen leaves and of course runny noses. i am also reminded of the less-than -quaint commute that lies before me... not everything can be farm stands and rural roads. chewy asphalt and other tire hazards add spice to the otherwise uneventful ride to work. every now and again i glance down at my analog odometer and watch the miles tick by. each time a new number rolls over it gives me a small sense of satisfaction. another day of work while my car sits unused down the block from my apartment. pedal, pedal.
