Short version- My brakes failed and I took a spill down a hill.
Well, since moving to DC I have had to suck it up and get right back on a bike. I've put more miles on my bike since moving here than I think I ever put on it since owning it. For real.
In addition to my own bike, I am also enjoying the Capitol Bikeshare system here. You rent a bike in one location and drop it off in another...super cool!
Creating routes and figuring out unmarked trails, I have become one with my bike again.
And I like it!
Saturday, I took a time out from and took a ride down to the grocery store to snag a few items. I took a backpack and wore my helmet.
And kept a close eye on the clouds coming in...
It helped me remember how fun it is to be on a bike-- riding fast, wind rushing past your ears!
I get a little worried about the cars coming by, but what are you going to do.
And it gives me a first hand view of the neighborhood I live in.
Some shots from my day--
