What's dumber than going out for your first bike ride of the year in 92+ degree heat?

Going out for your first bike ride of the year in 92+ degree heat while towing about a hundred pounds of kids behind you.

It didn't help that my brain decided it should play Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop" for the entire duration of the ride.

Or that every time I slowed or stopped pedaling, two tiny voices would shout, in chorus, "Faster!" or "Start pedaling!"

Awww I like those two tiny voices, I'll bet they had lots of fun. What kind of trailer do you have, and would you recommend it?

[janradder.livejournal.com]

I like them too, except for when they assume I'm a machine, able to perform at the push of a button.

We've got whatever the Target brand is (inStep or something like that?). I would recommend it -- it's cheap, easy to assemble, and easy to use, and it's holding up well.

I think your icon says it all, really.

On the up side, if it didn't kill you, it probably made you stronger.

If it doesn't kill me, it may make me stronger, but it'll also make me a lot dumber since the next time I face this choice, I'll probably think, "It didn't kill me last time, so I think I'll do it again."

Your icon is perfect. I'm glad you survived...

[janradder.livejournal.com]

The jury's still out on that . . .

I'm sorry, I have to agree with your original assessment...

Which one was that?
