While I was biking this evening, I inhaled a bug! Ew! Why didn't anyone warn me about this hazard. It flew into my mouth right as I was taking a breath in. I coughed it up and then accidentally swallowed it. Ew ew ew!!
Other than that, I'm still really enjoying my bike. I'm at about 2 hrs and 45 minutes of biking since Saturday, which is only 15 minutes from my goal for the week. This evening Rogers came over and brought an old bike rack that was gathering dust and put it on my bike for me - it has an old school rainbowy Apple Computer sticker on it. He also brought me a mirror and a bike lock. I still need to get a blinky front light, so I can ride safely after dark (I have a back light). In the not-too-distant future, I might also start looking for panniers, but I'd like to meet my goal of at least 3 hours of riding a week for a month before I spend the money on them.
For those of you who ride regularly, what bicycle accessories are you happy to have?
