New Wheels

How many kids with Attention Deficit Disorder does it take to change a light bulb? Let's go ride bikes!
It doesn't really come off the same when you type it, but most of you will know the joke anyway. I have to give Dave Hughes (comedian) the credit for that one.
More importantly, Kerri & I bought ourselves some new push bikes this afternoon. Expensive habit when you throw in extras like helmets & bike locks to name a couple. It was roughly a $1000 afternoon between the two of us. We had to hunt around a bit, but managed to get a couple of reasonable bikes for crappy mass produced bike prices. Below is my new set of wheels.


We are very excited about the bikes. Not having a car & having to rely on public transport to get around, has narrowed our range of territory in Calgary. Now that we have bikes, we can get almost anywhere. Calgary is quite flat so it doesn't take too much effort to go anywhere of interest. There are some great bike paths along the river & around the reservoir. Kerri's bike below.
