I want to ride my bicycle

Today, I rode my bike to work for the first time this year. Even though it was flippin' freezing, I loved every minute of it ... the air on my cheeks, the crackle of the tires on concrete, the regained familiarity with the things I would normally just drive by. Oh, and I got a new bike this year, which made this first ride all the more delicious. Behold, the aptly named Urban Lady:


Pretty sweet, eh? I've tricked mine out with a rear rack and a wire basket. And I must mention the little bell that my husband got me last year. He loves that bell.

So there it is, friends, the first Best Thing. You can get your own here.
