Two To(Bi)kes Over The Line

The phone rang and (future) Dr. J picked it up.  The call for her to join me in my now year long biking phase has been answered...with a resounding Y-E-S!  

We picked up (future) Dr. J's new bike this afternoon from Performance Bikes.  Not 2 hours later, it already has 7 miles on it.  What a start.  We rode on Sligo Creek Parkway the whole way, which is nice and flat. Saw some interesting houses...one looked like a domesticated star destroyer with sharp contrasting lines and some prismatic windows. We also saw some kids learning to ride bikes with their parents running along side. It was hard to tell if the parents were protecting their kids or they were protecting the rest of us. We had a fun time and the weather was great.  I'm looking forward to our next ride.

The second part to this story is that we currently have FIVE bikes.  In a previous post, I noted that (future) Dr. J's limit on the number of bikes in our house is THREE.  With her new Schwinn Searcher, we are now 2 bikes over the line.  And I'm happy to report that of those 2 bikes, we are each 1 over.  

Bikes #1, #2, & #3.  Eventually, the two on the left will go.

Bikes #4 & #5.  These both stay.

(Future) Dr. J...Answer The Call!

I only have 4 minutes to finish this post because (future) Dr. J wants to watch a movie on the computer at 7:00. I just used a minute of my time conveying that...not smart.

This is an official invitation to my wife, (future) Dr. J, to join me in my now year long biking phase. I think we would really enjoy having a physical activity to do together. We'd get to see alot scenery and it would serve as a great bonding experience. Best part of all, we could stare at each other's butts for hours at a time!

Time is up. I should have been able to make a more compelling case in 4 minutes. Maybe I'll try again later.

I love you,
Brian

P.S. That actually took me 9 minutes...WEAK!
