to work.

Having a car in the shop is a good reason to ride my bike to work. Before I moved, I used to ride to work regularly. I enjoy the ride to work. I do not enjoy the ride home. It is too hot. I've been bumming rides home off coworkers who live by me and can haul my bike.

Still love this bike. And it still kicks my ass on the inclines.

two steps back.

Things were going well. I was riding regularly to the gym. I was geting back into cycling and bikini shape. My dad's health is good. But our little dog Lucy passed away after 16+ years.

Another emotional blow. Another increase in anxiety. Another vacation from the bikes.

One good thing that's come of my bike vacations is that I have a lot of time on my hands to make things. So, I've been making bike stands. And selling them.
