I keep claiming I will, but I can't until I get a bench, sneakers, and a cardigan! |

That was a Mr. Rogers reference.
My old roommate kept talking about me riding my bike to and from work, but I cannot get him to unlock his bike from mine. I bought a bike rack a few years ago to make a detachable boat tail, but I am not sure I still have all of the right pieces, but I may rent an Econoline to get the rest of my stuff, and I have told him if he does not unlock my bike, he can come for his.
My bike is locked to a water pipe. His is locked to mine.

I rode my bike 7 miles to my old job. Nowadays I walk to work... about 50ft.
... and the Prius doesn't have an alternator, and nobody should pay thousands to fix one.

Repressed is when the Steam Roller backs up over you...a second time.
