Alive and more alive

I bought a bicycle today! A Cannondale that is better than my old Gary Fisher. Found it on good ol' craigslist for only $300. It rides really well. I'm happy.

Test riding the bike today was the first time that I've been on a bike since before the surgery. I didn't even think about it until I started to get on the bike. It turns out that it's not a problem at all. I went around the block - Sunday was a scorching hot day - and the owner was impressed with the speed. I felt so alive.
