mousmeWait! Before you tell me that I skipped a day, I did it on purpose! The reason for this is that I'm at work (it's a very slow night), and the post for Day 19 will likely require pictures that are on my own computer. So I'm cheating and writing today's entry first.

tx_cronopio wants to know my thoughts on bicycles, which can be summed up thusly: Bicycles are awesome!
Here are the reasons bicyles are awesome:
1- They are fun to ride. It's one of the basic skills you learn as a kid, and there is nothing more fun when you're little than racing around with your friends on your bike. Bicycles are the best way to get around when you're little, in my opinion.
2- They are ecologically friendly. They don't require gas to operate, and thus are one of the greener forms of transport out there, with the advantage of being faster than going anywhere on foot.
3- You can attach trailers to them. If you need to transport groceries or lighter items or a kid, just hook up a trailer to your bike!
4- They are (relatively) inexpensive. After your initial outlay of funds, which can admittedly be expensive depending on what sort of bike you want, a bike will basically cost you nothing to use. Once a year I get a professional to tune up my bike for about $40, but experienced bikers know how to do this themselves. Every so often you might have to spring for new tires, but compared to the monthly cost of owning/leasing and operating a car, the cost is negligible.
In short, bicycles. Inexpensive, versatile, useful in a variety of ways, and also fun!
I have not biked much (or at all) since I moved to my house, but now that I'm moving I plan to dust it off and use it to do my grocery shopping at least during the months when the ground isn't covered in snow. I'll have to get it properly detailed and the tires replaced, but I'm excited at the prospect now. :)
On that note, I need to get back to work. It's been quiet thus far, but it could pick up at any second. Also, I seem to have tweaked my neck in my sleep, and it's been getting progressively worse all night. Time for some ibuprofen, methinks.
