On Bikes and Spring Cleaning

I bought a bicycle today. This is likely an invitation to end up in an accident, but I really like the freedom and mobility that bikes offer, so I bought one. Second-hand, but with new brakes. $30USD. Not too bad. And I promised I'd give it back to the shop at the end of my three months. This afternoon I rode it into town for the first time, to test it out. It's been a long while since I've ridden a bike with a straight cross bar, it takes some getting used to. :P Besides one instance of the chain falling off, and discovering that one of the pedals gets sticky, the ride was a success! And takes so much less time than walking. :)
My new bike! It's going to need a name...

This morning I attacked my room. I decided I don't want to live with the dust magnet carpet for the next three months, so I took it out. The amount of dust under the carpets and in the carpets was enough to......well, it was allot. I moved the shelves out, upended the beds, swept and mopped and gave the room a good airing out. Productive day accomplished!
