just got back from a 10-minute bike ride around the neighborhood. i spent probably about twice that time fixing up my bike, inflating the tires, raising the seat, etc. still, it was a nice bike ride.
speaking of around the neighborhood, would you like to be my neighbor? the house next door is for sale.
