It Was Bound to Happen Part 2

No more cow shit. I went out today with the intention of going for a long bike ride in the glorious weather we are having here in the Bay Area (California).  I got to mile five and heard something I’ve never heard before.  My front tire was leaking air faster than our government can spend [...]

It Was Bound to Happen

Cow shit.  On me. I went for a bike ride today, and my tires just hit a small piece of fresh cow poo.  It got on my bike and a bit on my… cheek.  The one on my face.  It was gross.  I had to use lots of dirt, rocks, and grass to continue on.  [...]

Which one will be next?

Both are just under $600, so it might be a while.  A long while… OR Possible names are Ilaria, Mila, or Monica. What?  People name sailboats, and I’m never going to buy one of those.
