Bikes and boats...


OK, I'm pretty sure that Laura won't let me have another boat. So here's the latest plan. How about a new bike (at about 1/50th the cost of a boat). I'd be looking at a touring bike, useful if I wanted to load it up and travel some distance (let's say ... Prince Rupert, or Alaska, or Cross-Canada). Anybody interested in biking for a long while?

I have to admit, this long term biking idea came to me when I watched "Long Way Down". Motorcycles are not very environmentally friendly, and do nothing for your fitness. I figure if you start out out-of-shape, you would finish a long ride in incredible-good-shape. Plus you'd see stuff you've never seen before.

Bikes are awesome, especially bikes with ridiculously large seats that makes it feel like you're biking while sitting on the couch. There's a picture of the 'cruiser' Mike gave me for my birthday on Facebook. It's all I wanted after my first trip to Europe!
