Mischief Managed

[mousme]

I rescued my bike from my parents' place and brought it to Eddy's Bicycle Shop where they gleefully told me that they could have it ready by tomorrow, Friday at latest. Apparently with the rain today they got a jump start on all their work.

So the next thing to do is to get myself a backpack (hard to bicycle with a purse, don'tcha know), and the first day of good weather will see me cycling (very, very slowly) to work.

Now I just have to muster the energy to get back out there to go grocery shopping before I have to leave for work. Meh. Don't wanna. I also have to change into my work clothes. Moving bicycles is a messy business.

Wish I was able to bike to work.

I could get here by following all the bike paths for LaSalle to St-Lambert but it would take me more the two hours. I would also be a salt stain at the end of it.

HRH.

I agree that a pack is good on a bike, but I have ridden a bicycle with a purse with a shoulder strap more times than I can count.

Do you have any baskets? You could always put a purse in a front basket and bungee cord it down. When I, once upon a time a long time ago, bought a brand new bicycle I insisted on it being a lady's bike, having a basket in the front, fenders, and one of those flat things in the back that you can attach stuff to. And, of course, reflectors, lights, and a bell.

Cycling with a backpack in the summer is really quite uncomfortable. I highly recommend a rear rack and panniers instead. Or, as taxlady says, a basket for your purse.

Just got my bike back from Eddy's on the weekend; they did a fine job.

Yay for bikes!

18 miles each way, uphill in both directions. No really, I have to cross a rather steep sided valley. And then riding home at 02:30 or later. Wish I could but it ain't happening.

So proud of you, you go, grrrrrl!

Yes, panniers or a basket. Not a backpack.

Go go go!

I'm a huge fan of the basket. I have one on the front of my bike (Daughter rides on the back) and it comes off so I can bring it in the store with me. I love it.
