I’m Awesome

Posted on | July 23, 2008 |

So awesomely clumsy, I guess, that I managed to lose not one, but both shoes off my feet on my commute home. It remains a mystery how I lost the first one as I was pedaling fiercely to get through a light before it changed. Then as I swung my bike around to grab it, the other fell off my foot.

Hopefully the sight of a woman in a skirt throwing down her bike and chasing after both heels scattered on the pavement was entertaining for the cars stopped at the nearby busy intersection.

Dreams

To live in a bike friendlier world. To create the greatest collection of fabulous shoes ever assembled. To see a viable third party in US politics. To get local Rio team riders to acknowledge existence on road.
