As hot and sticky and tiring as it is, I am enjoying riding a bike to work. It’s good for my heart, and, assuming I don’t get run over, good for the rest of my body, too.

The downside? The weather can occasionally not cooperate, like it did today, when, upon leaving work I saw that not only had it already rained, but the sky to the north was black, and lightning was frequent. I managed to make it home, though I was scared the entire ride. The wind was against me, and it was blowing something fierce, slowing me down when I was trying to pedal as fast as I could. But I made it home alive.  And, even if it weren’t drenched from the rain, my shirt would still have been soaked in sweat.

Thanks again to Sandi and Jeff for the free bikes.  Suckers.
