Reminds me of:

I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day

So I don't ride clipless, but I do rock climb and those shoes can emit the funk of 40,000 years. I've had good luck keep the populations down by storing them in a freezer. Verify with housemates, partners, spouses, though.

Or maybe just out on the back porch during the winter? :-)

I rode clipless today, finally transitioned from the large platform pedals and boots with studded tires to my stock tires and dual sided clipless pedals.

I missed my pedals!!

And I really missed the speed on the smoother tires and I am totally amazed at how quiet the bike is now.  No more buzz saw going down the road!

So I rode down the Hyde Park to get a brochure from the HPCA (hyde park art center) for information that I could have looked up online. But that's how it is with warm weather, you come up with small to nothing reasons to bike 20 miles. 

Winter it's straight lines, work/home,  store/home, there is no meandering or miles with out reason. Things get warm and why not take a jaunt up to Devon ave to get some almonds? Or some couscous. The almonds are almost besides the point, they are the tiny reason to bike up there. Not sure if this is just me or not.

So I bumped into a guy that I haven't seen since oh, November.  Now my bike looks like it's been dipped in salt and grime and person I haven't seen his bike looks super clean, as clean as it was back in November.

Person has the nerve to say "I haven't seen you around" and as mild as our relationship is I can't really say; "We'll you haven't seen me around because I didn't resort to public transportation in the winter because I'm hard core and you're not".  All one can do it let it slide and welcome them back.  I expect this to happen a couple more times between now and the end of the month.
