On Bikes

I know that lilyprodigious is considering Davis next year, and I found this page on the UC Davis website that might be helpful in considering a bike:

"The best advice is saved for last: Thieves' favorite targets are expensive, high-quality mountain bikes. This is so obvious, yet too many Davis cyclists persist in riding such "thief-magnets" for daily commuting in a town where distances are short, terrain is flat, and a high-dollar, 21-speed, all-terrain bike is really out of place. Even if theft weren't an issue, why put that daily wear and tear on such a bike? Get a "beater bike"... for around-town use. Sure, it could also get stolen, but consider the comparative loss." (from 'Bicycle Theft Prevention')

A local Davis repair shop does hold bike auctions every so often to sell off 'unwanted' bikes at low prices. If you do get a nice bike but don't want to risk it in town, perhaps getting a workhorse at the auction might be a good bet.

Fuck

It would have cost less to go to Pasadena Art Center.

Why do I only find out about this now?

Whoo

For the curious...

Hurm

You know, I've been thinking.

Bikes don't necessarily have an assigned gender, do they?

It's not like ships, or sportscars, or airplanes...

What if Archie's female?

No wonder s/he hates me.
