trains hate bikes, but f*ck them!

today i finally got to bring my bike to work. the 1.1 mile ride from my apt was crazy. i don't get why drivers get so pissed at people who ride bikes on the road. bike riders are supposed to be on the road so they don't take a chance at hurting pedestrians. for the majority of the ride it's ok, because the road is actually 4 lanes, but when there's a car parked on the same side as i'm riding, i have to go around it, and cars don't like that. i am wearing a helmet now though so i'm not too worried if i take a fall. it's just concrete right?

yeah well i took my bike onto the train, not knowing that you have to have a strap to hook it up to the side. the conductor made me look like an idiot for not knowing, but they didn't exactly make it too clear on the site that you have to have one. he gave me a brochure and there was one little line that says that you need one. so instead of using the one i have i'll have to buy one from jewel. it just pissed me off the guy was so rude to me even though i had no idea i had to have one. like he was going to kick me off the train or something.

well AJ'll be here later tonight, so we'll have to see what this city has to offer us. i'm looking forward to a great weekend, especially sunday night ;-)
