And I Thought I Was Cool!

I remember one January when I drove from Pittsburgh to San Diego and I was so proud of myself.  Bicycle, from The Adventures of a Girl Called Bicycle, sets out to BIKE to San Francisco from DC! I LOVED this book.  I thought it was just so clever.  I can't wait until Christina Uss has a new book!
It really made me want to get into biking.
David Levithan, I am still trying hard not to be fat!  So don't worry!  And from everything I have read, biking is great for weight loss!  BUT my friend's brother was an expert biker.  And he was on just a regular ride and something was on the trail and he went over the handle bars and his helmet cracked and now he is paralyzed.  And I know that was a horrible, horrible freak accident, but it scared the heck out of me.  My heart just aches and aches and hurts and hurts for him.  He is a devout man, and he just wants to go and be with his Lord.  It is just such a sad and horrible time.
Ugh.
