My Green Experiment day 1

by Ruben on Apr.30, 2004, under Archive

I already use public transit to commute to work, but I’ve decided to go a bit more green and start cycling to work.

So, bought the bike yesterday, test rode it, everything OK. This morning, I found out just why the bike was such a bargain;

The derailleur came off the back of the bike and the chain fell off as I was crossing a very busy street during rush hour.

I managed to put the _thing_ back together and even made it in on time. Of course, more of the same on the way home.

Tomorrow, the bike goes back to Cheap Retail Store and I will get a bike from Serious Bike Shop with actual Customer Service.

I plan to cycle to work every day this summer, rain or shine. Now, how do I manage the clothing situation? I doubt I can cycle in a suit, certainly not in July.
Well, not if I want to keep the suit anyway.

More on My Green Experiment next week.

Hypnosis

by Ruben on Apr.24, 2004, under Archive

Went to a fundraiser las night for the Wong’s Dragon Boat Club. My team is the
Crazy Chameleons Dragon Boat Club but some of my best friends are with the Wong’s.
The fundraiser was a comedy night with a hypnotist…
No, I didn’t get hypnotized, but it was fun watching those who did.
