"I can't believe how windy it is today," said the woman in line at the pet store.

"I know," said the cashier. Then, rolling her eyes and nodding meaningfully in my direction, she added, "and some people are riding their bikes."

"Mmmm," said her customer, gathering up her kitty litter and heading for her minivan, studiously avoiding even a glance in my direction, which was difficult because I was holding the door open for her.

Ride when it makes sense, don't when it doesn't.

Here's an interesting story about this dude who decided to ride his bike 2000 miles around California. He ate only wild figs that grew along the side of the road and in 2 months spent only $150.

I don't think I'd have much luck doing that here in Arizona.
