You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Back in the Saddle Again

I'm officially back in the biking saddle, and glad of it. After work yesterday when I took my bike in to have my flat fixed, the nice bike man did it for free! and life consequently got a lot shinier. Got home to dinner of pesto pizza, quesadillas, and caesar salad with housemates, and then hung out all evening with carrie, a pint of chocolate and ginger organic ice cream, and a copy of Peter Pan. The weather's still shit, but my mood has greatly improved. Knock on wood.

the correct application of three spoons will assist you in removing tires to get at misbehaving tubes.

you could use three knives too, but then you would need some sort of knife-proof gloves, so spoons it is. more efficient.
