Nice Bike!

After nearly eight years in mothballs, I finally took my bike out of storage. I used to ride fairly regularly, but then I got a real job, a wife, pets, children, and all that jazz. And all of a sudden I was a big fat guy, and my bicycle was covered in dust and spider webs.

Well, the kids are now old enough to ride, although still with training wheels, so I thought I'd ride with them. After all, my computer sucks, so whate else is there to do in life? And I did. And today I can barely walk. My legs are sore from my toes to my nose, and my prostate feels like a flaming honeydew melon.

But it was still a lot of fun.

I did a little research to see where biking has progressed in the last few years, and there are some neat alternatives out there. Giant has a cool bike called the Revive that looks fun, although like regular recumbent bikes, I wonder how they do going uphill? Anyone ever used one? Let me know.

And, in case anyone wonders, the picture isn't of me or anyone I know. I just thought it was funny.
