Yes, yes you did.
I finally bought a Giant Simple-3 cruiser from The Bike Shop this afternoon and spent the last couple of hours tooling around, sweating out a couple of pints of liquids, exploring Nac, and getting sun-burnt. It was a lot of fun and I found a bunch of cool places I've never seen before. I also managed to get from campus to downtown with minimal effort. Downtown back to campus was a little more challenging since I thought I would bike up Lanana Creek Trail. Yeah, fuck that. Maybe if I was "Doing the Dew". Trail is a misnomer as well, this was some Bear Grylls shit. On the upside, I did find an awesome place - Tucker Woods - off of Raguet St. that I had never even heard about. I didn't get to the SFA Arboretum yet. Maybe tonight or this weekend...if my legs work.
Other assorted amusing stuff:

Other assorted amusing stuff:
- Oh, you mean 1 for hills, not 3? Fuck, that makes more sense now.
- I nearly wiped out (twice) when I lost control of the front wheel and the edge of the sidewalk (not the curb the grassy part). I didn't get hurt or anything but the second time a cop slowed down and asked if I was okay. I could the tell he was laughing at me.
- Dickies suck for riding bikes when it's in the high 80s. Time to make some shorts out of the them. Yes, I bought a bike and I'm gonna wear shorts. Suck it.
- Nailing your finger with the snapping end of a bungee thingy hurts, like, a lot.
- I genuinely had fun just kind of puttering around. Outside my apartment. Sober. Wait, what?
- Coaster brakes are fuckin sweet. Less worry of a bike-endo with Joshua getting more head injuries.
- Found a Two-Tone helmet online.
- I cracked myself up at the concept of slapping a metric shit-ton of lights and mirrors on the bike - all Modly Mod style.
- Oddly enough I can now fathom how people ride for twenty miles plus. I certainly won't be doing that this weekend.
- I'm trying really hard not be scared of cars. I suck at riding and I know people are dicks (not you guys though). I don't wanna get door checked by some "hey bro" popped collar in his rape truck.
Yup. Gotta bike. If you wanna go for a bike ride let me know. If you're in a car, please don't hit me.
