2 Wheels Maybe

[I'm resurrecting Fossil-Free-Friday over here on 2Wheels Maybe. I hope you enjoy the posts!] As a guy who loves old vehicles but hates the environmental damage they do, I love seeing cool EV conversions, and some of my favorites are the air-cooled VWs.

But the riding days have been good. They've been better than good. And that's what it's all about, getting out and feeling better about the world on the days you choose a bike over a car. Our shoes and tires got wet! The little guy and I did a 4-mile park loop on Saturday. After Friday night's storm, we actually had a water crossing!  We had a mandatory "rest" stop at the jungle gym.     The klunker and the jeep The rides to work were good too. The days I ride, I show up at work more relaxed and more focused. I get more accomplished. I e
