today i was on the elevator and a guy with a shiny silver bike came on and we stood there like boring people in an elevator for a few moments until he blurted out, “like my bike? It’s new!”
isn’t that a nice thing to say? he said that if i want a bike i should just go and get one and not think about it, but it was my stop, so i couldn’t tell him that i’m too poor, and that if i just got one it wouldn’t be as shiny and brag-worthy as his.
anyway, for now i’ve decided to push my bike goal aside and focus on becoming a better rollerblader.
