Bikes!
Grar. I'm tired. BUT! We did something majorly awesome today. We bought bikes.
...
Okay, maybe to all you people it doesn't sound like much, but you have to understand the situation. We've already posted about the INSANE traffic and INSANE lack of room-- it's dangerous enough to be walking down the street as a pedestrian, and adding wheels and metal things that take up even more room to the mix is just asking for trouble. Couple this with the fact that it was completely dark outside by the time we got them and the fact that I haven't ridden a bike in at least five years, possibly more, AND the way home is a hill that doesn't seem steep, but when your little one-speed ghetto-ass bike finally decides to start going, it GOES. It was exceedingly exciting, and I didn't even hit anything! Well, that's a lie, I ran into Sidney a little once, but that's only because I thought she was moving so I started moving and she wasn't.
Anywho, it is bedtime for me so I can go register said bicycle and then get in line for my crappy registration lottery number slot place thing. ;_; I hope the classes I want are still there!
