The plan is to start riding to Memorial Park from my apartment, an approximately 10 mile ride.
Perhaps after that I will eventually be able to start riding IN the park once my stamina builds up.
So I bought my bike.
And it's been 5 days and no riding since.
I have several excuses for procrastinating activeness.
For once, I have been very busy this week... for some reason.
I haven't had a chance to ride the bike.
Two, I am kind of scared riding on the streets of Houston.
I do have some experience of mild harassment while WALKING on the streets of Houston... sigh.
I am thinking perhaps I will stop being so Asian and invest in a bike rack for my car so that I can carry the bike to a nearby park.
And recently, I have been noticing so many cars on the roads with bike racks attached to the back.
Of course, I have never noticed this before.
Has a fad for biking begun in the city of Houston?
Is it an April thing?
Am I just starting to notice things?
I do not know. One thing for sure, I definitely will try to get that thing out tomorrow for a ride.
Because from my weekend experience, Matisse certainly is never going to voluntarily walk on a leash.
My gosh, I wish I lived in Boston.
1. Be a REAL Texan and get a F-150 or something, and you don't need to worry about getting a bike rack.
ReplyDelete2. MS150 is this weekend in case you didn't know.
3. Houston is much better than Boston. Eh?
I would love to cycle to work/school, but I've always had the misfortune of living in rather hilly areas e.g. Gangwondo, Ithaca, Amman, etc.
ReplyDeleteAs for harassment, you should try Amman. But then, I can't complain, since I know how bad it is in places like Egypt, Syria & the rural regions of Jordan.
