I actually went cycling today! And I installed the rear-wheel rack, and it fits! It fell back when I got home (HOPEFULLY that's when it happened!) but I tightened it as hard as I could. I had gone to Walgreens and got some snack foods (to counteract my calorie burning, of course) and then went to Matt's station, hung out there for a little bit, then rode back home for a total ride of 7 miles.
The whole time, tho, I was worried that it was gonna start raining. It was overcast and the weather report had called for rain. Plus it was quite windy.
The rear-wheel bag fits well. The handlebar bag is a little awkward. My bell gets in the way, so the bag is more on one side than the other, and it's hard to put on and take off. But I'm not really complaining. I can fit a lot of stuff in it. I just wish it had a removable strap, but it has no strap at all. I'm considering just buying something from JoAnn's, like in that "purse-n-alize it" line. I'll figure it out I suppose.
One of these days I'm gonna go on a nice long trip with all of my cycling equipment and take some photos and have a personal picnic.
It's pretty late now. I should go to bed if I'm gonna wake up with Matt. I plan to be in the shower by 6:00 and out by 6:15, then breakfast by 6:30, then out of the house by 7:00. Then I can sleep at school. I think I'll take Lappy and the DVD player with me and watch some Simpsons during my office hour. Yeah. g'n't!
