I really got to stay away from REI. I tend to spend much money. I did get me a rain jacket. I really needed something for the times I get caught in the rain. The weather report will say rain by 4pm. But when I go on a bike ride the rain appears at 11am. The weatherperson is always off by hours.

I did pick up another Cateye Velo 8 for my Brompton. I like the Velo 8. I have one for my Cannondale Quick. Inexpensive and works well. I always like to know my mileage.

Sometimes the best bike ride is when I’m running errands. One of my favorite places to stop at is Peet’s Coffee and Tea. I have my medium jasmine green tea and enjoy the classical music. Like how Peet’s plays classical music instead of the obnoxious pop music. I relax while reading book or magazine.

This year I want to learn how to fix my bike. It would be nice to know how to work on my bike and not have to run to the bike shop every time some little thing has gone wrong.

I find myself going to garage and estate sales. Hoping to find an old steel bike that I can turn into a fixie. Would be a fun little project.

If I when the lotto I will probably have a garage full of bikes.

In life I’m just wandering along. It can be by bike or foot but I am going to wander somewhere.
