Bill Bought us Bikes

Some sweet rides from Republic Bikes. But there are some contingencies: like we have to ride them. A lot.

For Bill to pick up the tab for the bikes, we must either a) ride our bike to work 45 times between 6/1 and 9/30, or b) ride our bike 25 miles a week if we are not able to commute. There’s a tracking spreadsheet and everything, and to make it official, David “I have one pant leg shorter than the other and ride a bike without brakes” Fitzgerald from customer support and bicycle building is getting everyone to sign up for Strava. It’s free and will track your mileage. You should do it too. There’s even a mobile app.

Why are we bike crazy? Gas prices. Pollution. Fatness. Cardio. Junk Food. Traffic. Sanity. Freakish calf muscles. Wind in your hair. Seeing stuff. Happiness. Vigor. Fewer pills. More nookie. Stamina. Our kids. Sunshine. Energy independence. Trees. Freedom. Wheelies. Global warming. Beer.

When you ride a bike, you don’t get all “oh I’m such a glutton” when you drink a couple pints. So ride with us friends. Ride. We’ll post more soon to keep you inspired.
