the other day...

i've been sitting on the couch waiting for you summer time. temps are to get up to the mid-90's this week. the days of riding and feeling like you've sweat out a six-pack of beer are here. i like these days.

some people complain about sweating or find it's a hardship in commuting by bicycle. i think we need to embrace it more. use it as a badge of honor. one of the many things that unite us all as bicycle riders. elevator conversation. you know once people stop shuffling or looking up and then down, say the obvious. 'whew, its a hot day already out there. i rode my bike in. JEALOUS??!' as you stand there looking like a very fit but sweaty heroin addict.

i dunno. im not a scientist or anything. but sweating just feels like a good thing. purifying. toxin releasing (gross) and prolly good for you.

time to put away the wool knee socks for reals. sad but true. i just wore mine yesterday. i tend to push the wool socks as long as possible.



hosiery may still be ok. in the evenings. late at nite. riding slowly. unphased by the drink.



and summertime naps are the best. viva la summer.
