rides and needles

September 3rd, 2010 · 1 Comment · bike shops, nyc, road rides

I blame my childhood epilepsy for a lot of things: the parental prohibition on engaging in sports, the inability to climb trees and my subsequent complete lack of interest in traveling at any rate faster than a brisk walk.
