Go Biking, or Die Trying


When I first subscribed to Capital BIXI (a bike sharing program) I figured one of two things would happen: I wouldn’t use it, or I would die trying.

I’m happy to report that neither of those two things has happened. Not only have I gone out bike riding the past two weekends, but I have avoided death on both trips. Bring on the yellow jersey, I’m ready for the Tour!

This past Sunday I only narrowly avoided death. Twice while riding I let my mind wander and ended up trying to ride into the canal; apparently the old adage is true – you do go where you’re looking.

My other near-death experience came at the hands of a child. I was trying to pass them (because nothing makes you feel like you’re riding in the Tour de France more than passing a kindergartner on training wheels) when suddenly they swerved out into the left lane. Thankfully my reflexes were good and I was able to wobble my way around them. It was intense, let me tell you.

 To treat myself for escaping death, I came home, read my book and took a nice long nap. There’s nothing quite like a lazy Sunday for this senior citizen.

This story really has nothing to do with today’s outfit; I just wanted to share my weekend adventures. 





Dress - BCBG; Belt - Jacob; Wedges - Aldo

 This outfit was completely inspired by Pinterest. Have I mentioned how much I love that website?! Because I do; a lot.
