Bicycle Meditation


Well despite the fact that I've owned her for more than a year, it took me until last night to have a real inaugural ride on my cruiser. See just after I requested her for my b'day, I found out I was pregnant. I don't know if you folks know this or not, but pregnant ladies aren't real coordinated, so I held off riding her. Then of course, Miss Tabby showed up and well … I don't know if you know this or not either, but new mamas don't have a whole lot of free time for bike riding. So last night, I finally got to take my cruiser on a long ride.

I don't know how long I was gone, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I went by myself. I didn't listen to music. And my mind was nicely blank. Yes, I thought, but it wasn't deep, it wasn't my to-do list, it was very in the moment. Afterwards I was a bit sweaty, but very relaxed. Now I just need to find a name for my bike. All the really important inanimate objects in my life have names. My car (a black CR-V), for example is Black Magic. I think I'm leaning towards “The Lime Sherbet Incident.” But I'm open to suggestions.

  1. I kind of like just “Sherbet” as well. I haven't been on a bike ride in years…seriously, probably like almost 20 years. I need a bike.

  2. OMG! I totally *love* this new design! The background just rocks. Reminds me of sherbet (like your bike). I'd definitely go with “Sherbet” or “Sweet Tart.” I *love* both of those! Wow … I can just imagine you riding your new bike, wind blowing against your face. How awesome that you got to do that. I haven't ridden a bike in years!
