And I usually unplug for the whole weekend anyway. Again, the kids keep me busy. But during the week I'm constantly plugged in.

I loved using that bike. It was one of the most peaceful ways to get around that I ever enjoyed. Even after living there for 11 years, it was so much more fun to learn the city one more time on two wheels...

I'm in grad school and no one expects me to iron shirts. 2. I'm residing in one of the most bike-friendly towns in Alabama (viz., Auburn) so when the Check Engine light comes on for the third or fourth time in a row, I can ignore it indefinitely. As for relaxing, getting on the bike is a good way to unwind. I think I'd feel the same way even living downtown. My bike is what they used to call a "city bike" in the '80s, when I bought it in Jacksonville (FL). It has knobby tires on smaller wheels, so doesn't object to rolling over cracked pavement, broken glass, or mysterious metal objects. The perfect vehicle.
