Bikes, et all. (with a side of Ange)

So Scott and I got bikes. This is what I have to show for it. Whilst you can't see it so good in this photo- please note that the bruise on my right leg is about 3 inches wide and 2 inches long. I had a minor accident with the chain. (a post will come about our new vehicles and their accessories, AKA components to the bike world)

**Yes I am flexing, yes I have giant calves, yes I am a lot darker than that, bad lighting**
But, the recent purch has flooded my mind with memories about my bicycle career.



To name a few-

1. When I got my training wheels off (it was also the day Ben Franklin burnt down) My bike was purple, it had a banana seat with purple clovers on it.
2. Making Whit meet me half way every day from 1989-1995 Approximately (she thought it was her bridge, I thought it was our clubhouse AKA a board that went over the canal)
3. When Michelle and I rode "up town" and we thought we would get hungry, so we took a baggie with bread in it.
4. And last, but arguably best...Ange, a cold fall day at Ricks College. While walking up the hill to campus (the one outside of the Hart) she was wearing a back-pack, minding her own business. (probably sizing everyone up actually to see if she could "take em") When all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a biker whips by her, catches her shoulder strap on his handle bar, and drags her approximately 10 feet. What can I say, I have cool sisters- with one common thread (besides ridiculous good looks) we are all about as coordinated as a vinyl fence.

Love it! I have a great story to tell you about our boat. Picture me pushing us off the dock.....then me clining to the boat with one leg and one arm...determined not to fall in. You get the idea.

Aaaahhh that is terrible!!! I hope the biking adventures improve at least enough so as to minimize the injuries!!

Now all we need is a bike for me - and a house closer to you......

I'll work on it.
