Hey Gang: So I moved apartments, 20 blocks diagonally, if you use the pythagorean theorem, down a subtle but noticeable hill. I decided to do some or most of the moving with my Hilsen. I borrowed Smitty's trailer, a tastefully converted burley kid hauler.
The riding really wasn't much to write home about--I would joke about how the load in the trailer was anti-planing, sucking up momentum as I tried to climb, or just make forward progress. I'm sure I got a fair number of stares as I lugged progressively weirder things down the street (floorlamps are interesting hauling). Today I did the last haul that really mattered--my cat came over to the new place. I'm not sure if I'll have many opportunities to ride with my cat, so it was a special thing. Blah blah blah moving, the point of this email was to say, after countless rides back and forth, pulling empties up the hill and flying down with literally domestic components, I took the trailer off and went grocery shopping. Threw some junk in the saddlebag, and rode to the co-op to get ingredients for that most special of meals, "the first dinner in the apartment". I won't mention the chance running into a pretty face, and some nice conversation for a few blocks, but I will mention that even after slogging all day, riding home with a heavy load of groceries (damn, that beer is heavy), I had a grin on my face because my bike rode SO NICELY. Cheers cc PS: This also counts as a big public Thank You to Smitty for lending me his trailer. Andy, I owe you dinner, but since you're a family guy, I guess I owe your family dinner.
