The tension bar (to be used so I can put my girl bike on a bike rack) came yesterday. I will try it out on Saturday. The instructions do mention that if you don't install the tension bar correctly, or put the bike incorrectly on the bike rack that you can drop the bike in the street. I have had that thought. I will be really careful.
During the first part of 2012 I was in pretty decent shape- I was walking two miles a day. That may not seem like a lot, and yet the difference between two miles a day and not walking or exercising at all is huge.
Things got stressful at work and I had months of just coming home and vegging on the sofa after getting home. I understand the urge to want to just sit on the sofa and veg.... life, and work, can be hard. The result now is that I am really out of shape. My asthma was under control and had all but disappeared when I was exercising. It has reasserted itself and serves as a daily reminder that I have made some bad choices about how to handle stress.
It is going to take awhile to get back into decent shape so I can really enjoy riding. Just the difference in asthma symptoms alone should serve as sufficient motivation.
I went up to Milagra Ridge in Pacifica. It seemed like more of a hiking area than a bicycling area. I have a Honda Fit with a bike rack on it, and no matter how careful I was I scraped the bottom of the hitch entering and leaving the access road.
