Matt<\/a>‘s been riding a bike around NYC for the last few years. And he’s been kinda crowing about it the whole time. I’ve successfully ignored him until now: I got a new bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I bought it with the intention of riding to work one or two days a week. Haven’t done that yet, but I’m still planning on it. It’s a long-ish trip, requiring much advance planning (kids, meetings, etc). And I’m a little skittish about mixing it up with cars without having some decent lights that say, “Watch out for me!”<\/p>\n

I rode my new bike in an 8-hour adventure race a couple of weekends ago. That was awesome, and I plan to do more of those. I’ve also been riding everywhere but work. Truman loves this. He’s a big fan of riding his bike, and loves it when I ride too. So we’re out riding whenever we have the chance. There’s a BMX track right next to the skatepark and Tru loves to double up. Skate a little, ride a little track. I’ve got a rack on my bike, so it’s easy to carry both our boards and gear down to the park.<\/p>\n

Okay, this post is really about nothing. But I do like my new bike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
