Biking Eugene (or Woz's Sore Bum)
Eugene is super bike friendly and bikes are one of the more popular modes of transportation in this very environmentally conscious town. Last summer I got on a bike for the first time in years and wasn't really entirely sure how I felt about it. But being here where nearly everyone is on a bike and the roads have separate bike lanes, welll, it just started to look FUN. Yesterday was the first day I took to riding around Eugene, especially near downtown close to my new digs. I woke up this morning wondering if my legs would be of the spaghetti nature after riding around for nearly an hour the night before. The legs were a-ok, it's my bum that needs some ice! That didn't hold me back from going on another hour long ride after work though. The weather and my bike, whose name is Lily, are both just too gorgeous for me to stay inside hiding from them.
Here's me in my backyard with Lily:
And here's one of Lil so she can shine all on her very own:
The weather this weekend is supposed to be amazing. I'm sure we'll be hitting the road together. And coming soon (whenever I can budget it) she is going to get some cute fenders and a basket. Oh yes, she's a lady.
