I rode my bike today
I rode my singlespeed to the Whole Foods to buy groceries
I bought a piece of monkfish
They call it poor man's lobster
I don't know who the heck "they" are but it was pretty tasty
I also bought some fruit and some olives and some cheese w/walnuts in it and
some walnuts
I still had the toe spikes in from 'cross season
I made a funky tapping sound with every step in the store
I listened to The Streets "A Grand Don't Come For Free"
British Rap Concept Album...yeah, strange genre
I think the cashier was frustrated because I couldn't hear her
But it was a good song, the one about the clippers needing a shake
Or maybe it was the shoes
I tried to get massive air jumping off the curbs
At least I didn't crash
Those olives are good
I gave into my sweet tooth and ate 14 m&m's after dinner
How will I ever get to 7 Watts/kg eating like that???
I drove my car for 0 minutes today
I rode my bike for 19 minutes today

I believe it...that's a very natural act. The olive bar at WF rocks

Thanks for the words, cbass... The distillation of a day into a few seemingly inconsequential moments is a really cool expression, and i think embodies a lot of what some cycling commuters are trying to do - experience some of the simpler and more "mundane" things in life a little more tangibly; a little more vibrantly.

Good stuff.

The Streets are cool

Saw Mike Skinner live at the Reading festival here in the UK this summer
