My new bike!

[xanify]

Haven't been really writing much lately because I busted my left wrist by, er, typing too much. Doh. That's what I get for having a job that involves typing and also a bunch of hobbies that involve typing. (Fast typing. Like videogames. Er

YOUR BIKE IS SO CUTE I LOVE IT. <3 <3 <3

Also I have a hairline fracture RSI on my left wrist that started from writing too much fanfiction in high school and it still flares up, so I hear ya. I compensate by buying wrist bracers that make me look like I'm about to murder someone. :)

I need those! Although I have discovered I must be sleeping on my wrist funny, because if I wear my wrist brace to sleep I wake up feeling mysteriously better.

(I totally need badass bracers though.)

BIKES! I love bikes no really, right now I am visiting Holland and everybody bikes everywhere (old people, little kids, my Important Professor Boss, seriously everyone) and there are well designed bike lanes and I love it so much!

Sorry, that was not actually helpful. I don't have any particular tips..other than just biking a bunch and it'll become instinctive. Also your nail polish skills are impressive!

I hope your wrist heals fast!

Melbourne tries but it's not quite there yet - there are bike lanes nearly everywhere but it's not quite well thought out and some of the bike lanes just ... end, mysteriously. I nearly ended up in the middle of the intersection.

Yeah I was practising in the parking lot yesterday just doing loops and figure eights around cars. I'll get better! Eventually ...

Yeah, my previous biking experience has been in the US midwest and Los Angeles, neither of which are bike friendly places. The Dutch have it figured out though, it's not just a stereotype.

Fun stuff!

Thanks :D My cousin suggested I paint lime green stripes next to the blue-green ones on the handlebars, so that might be my next step!

[xanify]

I HAVE NOT! I will definitely check that out :D

Yay for bikes! I don't have anything useful to say about that, being only a casual, 'for fun' sort of bike-rider, but I like your nail polish stripes! So shiny!
