I Can Haz Mousecules?

After the novelty of having bikes wore off, John and I went back to walking most of the time. It's hard riding up and down hills, locking and unlocking the bike, bungee-cording stuff in the basket, but mostly - riding up and down hills.

But there is a big difference in the amount of time it takes to get places. It can take 30 minutes to walk down town. And only 12 minutes to bike there.

When I walk down town, then my trip into town is pretty much the only thing I get done that day. But if I bike, well, I still have time to do other things.

So, in the name of time-saving, I've been biking more. The thing is, I just don't use those muscles for anything else. Biking hurts! I keep telling myself that if I keep doing it, eventually it won't hurt anymore. So far that hasn't been true. But someday...someday I will be able to get up a 6 degree incline without wincing.
