"Here's something that will make you feel all better. Mrs. Robot! She's having a party all by herself. She's quite the dancer, isn't she?

My husband and I are extremely dirty-minded parents.

Bent progress

So I've decided that rather than breaking my head trying to figure out relative benefits to the different components between the two bents I'm looking at, I'll just go ride then and see which I like better.

Makes sense to me.

I'm heading over to Braun's for a late lunch test run. Hopefully I don't fall off. I have my helmet, though.

Wish me luck, folks.

much_ado (and anyone else who's interested), if this works out, and the weather's cooperative, I'm thinking of getting it on Sunday, so maiden voyage would be that afternoon.

I need a new icon

I have a new toy.

It's purdy.

It's not red, which will make LB unhappy, but I'm good with that.

Can anyone help?

I need to see if I can scrounge a set of elbow & knee pads for the next few weeks while I relearn how to ride a bike.

Anyone have a set I could borrow for a bit?

Figure it can't hurt to ask before I start cruising the used sports stores
