while biking had terrifying realization...they're way too much alike. way too much. especially for such an unlikely combination of interests.
other realization was better, much better: it's good to be complete in oneself again.

laziness
Another gem from ElmCityCycling:
"Best bike vs. suv story ever -- My friend andy got yelled at by a woman in a Ford Expedition, who was pulling out of a McDonald's drive through lane. She told andy, who was returning from his weekly century, to stop being so lazy and get a driver's license."
Great quote about idleness: "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." (Sir J. Lubbock)
Whether I can make myself subscribe to it is a different story, but I'm sure in the right country to try.

RAGE
I HATE PAYPAL. I have attempted every freaking permutation of steps I could think of to confirm my address, but it just responds with one inane and irrelevant message after another. I also hate shippers who demand a goddamn confirmed address before they'll ship to you. Bastards, I want to give you my f*cking money, and you won't even take it.

food fight!
Excerpts from World Carfree News #25:
- On September 11, the annual food fight on the Oberbaum Bridge in Berlin kept the cars away. Once a year, autonomous people from the Friedrichshain and Kreutzberg district turn the bridge into a vegetable battlefield. This year, like every year, writes Jason Kirkpatrick, Friedrichshain reigned victorious.
- Bicycle sales in the US reached 19 million last year. The US Chamber of Commerce says more bicycles have been sold than cars over the past 12 months.
- A Galway, Ireland, gardener celebrated World Carfree Day by taking her wheelbarrow to and from work, while 30,000 Critical Mass cyclists rode through the streets of Budapest.
- Eighty-four Chinese cities have banned small cars in their city centres, because they like big cars.
