Fenders



So much rain. Did not bike today. I was as per usual late for work
and just grabbed a cab to save time.
There's a big empty space in the corner of my office today where I keep my bike. Sad not to have my trusty bike to keep me company today.

Every day that I don't ride I feel glum. I miss the mental high I get off
riding into the wind and how turning the pedals clears my mind. And I probably
do my best thinking when I ride. It's then that ideas come to me or that
I am able to resolve problems. It is also a feeling of comfort that I miss
when I am not riding. And it just as much about being in control of where
I am going, how I get there and being able to stop on a dime. And it's about
feeling good about doing something positive in your daily life.
I promise myself to ride tomorrow.
Perhaps one day I will give in to common sense and buy those fenders everyone
is talking about.
