1. I bought the bike. His Stable name is Potis Ton Orcheon and his family name is Monty because he is a Montague Crosstown 2017. Which, as the collection of confused men in the shop (it took three of them to figure out how to fold it) kept informing me, is the commuter version of a bike one kept calling The Tank, designed for the US Army. And here I just bought it because it was lightweight and had normal-sized wheels.
2. I had Whey mocha for breakfast. What you do is you take 1 scoop of chocolate orange whey powder and add it to an espresso and mix it in and then add skimmed milk and then you FIGHT A WALL.
3. Was in a horrifically ratty mood due to a) nerves about cycling b) LITERALLY NO SLEEP AT ALL and c) limited time.
4. I'm the most dangerous thing on the road: a man with a good beard was on the pavement and I was so distracted I nearly rode into the side of a car. Hormonal gays shouldn't be allowed near bikes.
5. I saved myself a big carb deficit (unnecessarily big) for a Starbucks Pink Drink because I have my first free drink? And the fucking Starbucks was out of that. So I am sitting here with 400g of strawberries and 200g of raspberries and S U L K I N G. Still behind on carbs.
6. The PRESS'D squeezy bottle of coffee I bought on a whim from Whole Foods (STOP FUCKING JUDGING ME) is amazing. Like, the coffee tastes NICE. As opposed to the garbage from bucks. I will get more of this.
7. Sometimes I deliberately don't pee for hours and hours so that I'm in pain and therefore concentrate on something other than being hungry.
EDIT: Bike things (I cannot spend more money but I need them).
Phone bag for handlebars I can remember maps pretty well but sometimes it's useful to be able to refer back.
BIKE LIGHTS for not dying of cars.
HIGH VIZ HARNESS ditto
Running belt for stashing shit in. Less bike-related and more "I would like not to always have to pockets."
Unrelated to bike but: I need this or I can't use the WACOM.
