hauling bulky objects is ok I decided – like major stockpiling of baking and cleaning supplies – since I don’t yet have one of those xtracycles So I rolled the car out for one shopping trip this weekend, but did otherwise achieve, without deprivation, inconvenience, or even lateness, 72 car free hours.

And I rode my bike to a meeting yesterday and somehow it caused people to admire my shoes. Shoe appreciation = always a plus in my book.
