We bought a bicycle for me to ride to work while in Nola. We only live a 15 minute walk from the office but it'll be nice to ride - it'll be breezy on those stupid hot days and it will keep me from being asked for a spare dollar every day. I rode in today and while it went well, I will have to keep away from the buses in the future.
I did manage to slice my hand/finger while taking the packaging off the helmet. The husband had to take me to urgent care where they glued it together (with purple glue). I'll be glad when it flakes off as it's catching on stuff.
