3:00 snapshot, #105.

Yes, I finally got off my lazy, bloated, car-softened rump and rode my bicycle. Now I have to do it a little bit every day until I don't feel like I'm going to die of an asthma attack before getting blood blisters on my perineum. Damn, I'm out of shape!

I know someone is going to chide me for taking a picture while riding my bike, so I shot this video for you:

On this day in 365 Urban Species: Shaggy Mane, an edible mushroom whose natural habitat is a well-kept lawn.

Okay, so were you riding all that way hands free or did you find some way to strap the camera to your helmet?

[urbpan.livejournal.com]

Hands-free some of the time, left hand only the rest of the time.

Hey, you have the same compass/bell combo thingy that I have.

Ding!

Haha, I've been thinking of making a video of my commute ride, because it's so lovely. I was going to tape my camera into my bike basket, though.

The video is black and white and green. Boston is like Pleasantville.

I don't know why that happened. I swear, our stop signs are red.

Yay for you! Yay for hands-free bike pictures!

Not dying of an asthma attack: start slow. Ride in the easy gears. Let yourself build up slowly!

Sore perineum: oh, man, buy some cycling shorts! Even the cheapo ones are a step up from not wearing anything at all (and I swear I can't tell the difference between one pair of padded shorts and the next).

I always learn something from your posts. For example, until today I did not know that guys had perineums. (perinea?)

Join the club. I learned something today, too!

I'm always taking squirrel pictures while on my bike. I can't believe I never thought about recording my bike rides. I'm going to have to start doing that now.
