(For now, anyway.)
I forgot to mention that last Wednesday I saw another Townie rider out and about — for the first time ever! I was riding over to Radio Shack from the van and came rolling up behind a silver townie with a “girl” frame. The other cyclist & I chatted for a few moments: she just bought hers in February and had only that day started using it for commuting. Then I got to Radio Shack and she rolled on through the intersection towards Fred Meyer.
It’s just nice to see someone else out on the same bike that has been so good to me.
