I bought a new bicycle Friday.
Most of you are saying, "So friggin' what! You got a bike. Ohhhh, let's help Dave celebrate!!"
But you don't understand. I got a bike.
I said 13 years ago that I'd NEVER have another bicycle in this city. NEVER!!
That's the last time I rode a bicycle. 1994.
I had just returned to the good ole USofA after
So when I came back to Houston, I just thought it the thing to do. Get a bike.
My second day, I got stopped by a Houston cop for running a stop sign. He verbally abused me for that plus other infractions (no headlight and pedalling under the influence etc...). It pissed me off so much I got rid of the bike and said I'd never have another one.
Never say never, huh?
Now I'm even trying stunts!
NOT!!

It sounds like it is almost illeagal to have a bike in Houston. Good for you Daave and yes I will help you celebrate
i put on 20 after quitting too... i've lost 14 of it by just walking... 3 miles a day... when i get home, i'm getting a bike, it'll be too hot to walk...
Great that you got a bike. It looks like a comfortable one too. I think that doing something outside for exercise is much more inspiring than the gym. I force myself to do the gym work but I'm yearning for the outdoors.
I would love to have a bike again. The problem is - I live in a rural area - Valley Forge, PA. To actually do some biking without getting killed,, it would entail loading the bike onto/into the car, driving to the park, etc... It's easier just to get my lazy butt out and walk. When I was a kid, you couldn't get me off my bike!
I love my "blue mustang with the top down"...In the warmer months I can be seen (barely) whizzing by anywhere at lightening speed...even the coppers can't catch ME!
Ride ON my brother...
daave thats the best exercise. I got in the best shape by bike riding. Its fun now you need to get a bell on it for pedestrians in you way.
and put playing cards on the spokes for that great tapity-tap-tap
I bet you look great in lycra...
:)
Get some bicycle pants and a camera and you've got your next Half Naked picture!
Thought of you today... Ate in a restaurant where you and I ate...
You're mentioned in todays post!
You make me realize that the best things I can do for my recovery include ANY physical exercise. I used to love it, used to work out, even had an aerobics class, thanks for making me think....need to get off the couch and hit the trail.
:)
you are cute, be safe ok.
