Yesterday, I found myself without a car. We have 4 cars hanging about
this house, but yesterday every member of the household had one. My
offspring and the husband had all gone missing. I think everyone headed
for the shore yesterday. South on the Parkway. Except the husband, I
think he was at Auto Zone...His favorite place. Or with his
sister...I'm not sure.
I had to get to a brunch given for a good friend of mine. I was
dressed in my finest and I was wearing Gucci Sandals with 3 inch spikey
heels. I was late. I jumped on my bike with present in hand and made
it to the party. It was quite a sight. I was actually very proud of
myself.
I'm enjoying owning this bike. Even if I don't know a lot about bikes,
and I am a casual rider.....I love having it now. It gets me to work,
it gets me places when all cars vanish from the driveway, and it has
truly become my friend. I think I have finally bonded with my bicycle.
Yesterday proved that to me. Last year I would have spent an hour on
the phone, finding a ride or getting one of my cars back.
The thing that was most priceless, was the looks on the faces of my
friends when I came riding up to the restaurant on my bike. Gift under
my arm, purse on the handlebars and 3" spike sandals on my feet.
I figure if I am not going to become a hard core, lyra wearing cyclist,
at least I can be myself, a "strange and unique cyclist"
Maybe it filled my need to be the center of the universe, as most of
you think I have the desire to be...and you know what....I don't care
if that is my goal. I love being a little bit crazy and a little bit
strange. It is liberating.
That was a wonderful bike ride yesterday....I parked my WalMart bike
between a Mercedes and a Jaguar in the parking lot of the restaurant
and walked my 3 inch spike heels proudly into the restaurant. ;-)

No more pain
No no more strain
Now I'm sane
But I'll rather be in love again.
