Riding Dorky

As promised, there's me looking dorky in my pink bike helmet. I hate wearing a helmet at all, but since I'm not a fan of getting tickets and I'm bound to take a spill at some point, better safe than sorry, right?

My dad boxed up my old bike a few months ago and I've been riding it pretty much everywhere ever since. Granted we've had fantastic weather and I haven't been stuck in the rain yet, like I will be all winter, but I'm really loving the way the world looks from a bike. Mundane chores like picking up groceries or returning library books are pure joy when I get to feel the wind whipping across my face instead of sitting in traffic. I hate driving, I really hate being stuck in traffic and I really *really* hate circling around looking for parking. All of the things that get my blood boiling on a daily basis are removed when I'm out on my bike instead. I love it.

And yeah, it's worth looking like a dork.
