out with the honda, in with the trek

so i sold the honda before i left indiana, and there are small moments when i kinda miss her. but these moments are few and very far between. i ride my bike now pretty much everywhere, and i love it. here's why my Trek is amazing:

• working out and commuting are now one in the same. the quads are so getting back in shape.
  
• the trek can go all the places cars can't...like, when traffic is backed up at a stoplight, guess who gets to go to the front? it's like cutting the line at disney world, but no one can get mad at you.
• there is no bike insurance, bike parking pass, or bike parking meters. nor must i ride around the block five times looking for a place to lock up.
  
• on the trek, especially during rush hour, i go the same speed or faster than everyone else. like today, i definitely passed a porsche.
• how much are gas prices now?
• one-way streets (and that's pretty much every street here) are still one-way streets on a bike, so the law still applies. yet, it's also slightly optional...the shortest distance is still a straight line, so if that means going the wrong way down a one-way every so often, the trek can do that.
  
• there is this special adrenaline rush that comes only when riding through rush hour. dodging cars and peds and taxis and other bikes, that's all great. inches between me and an MBTA bus, yeah, that's AWESOME. [mom, i'm fine]
  
• and finally, and this would be the best part of all: more exercise = more calories burned = more food!! and i do love food. however, right now that means a lot of pb&j's, couscous, and spaghetti, but that's fine by me. :)
  

so the trek has replaced the honda. i'm pretty happy with that. :)
