Our Neighborhood and Beyond






Pictures:
1. Me and my new bike. These bikes look goofy--little wheels and a very tall post for the seat and handlebars. Ha! But everyone has them, and they're cheap, so we use them to get to work and cruise around the neighborhood.
2. Michael and his bike. Behind both of us is the river that runs through the middle of town. We are still debating whether or not it is man-made.
3. As we rode along today we encountered hoards of high school kids on this walk; we think it was for PE. Kids are the same everywhere! They were busy goofing around not paying attention to walkers or bikers.
4. These bikers are an excellent example of how to be a "cool" active person. If you ride a bike or hike, you MUST wear brand-name, expensive gear. Spandex looks best. Anyone who is riding a bike with any kind of dedication is wearing this get-up. It looks ridiculous because they whiz along the flat path, and then when it comes time to take a small incline up to the main road, they hop off and walk their bikes.

More to come!

I call those people "gapers." Hikers are the same way--poles, bear bells, gaitors, gortex shoes, and a relatively flat road...
