Thankgiving

This year, I am thankful that I have been able to ride my bike throughout the streets of New York -- with no prior experience -- starting one month ago, and I have not yet gotten hit by any vehicle. I am thankful that the great majority of motorists are not homicidal. I am thankful that I am saving so much cab and subway fare in an interesting and healthy manner. I am thankful that my calves, thighs, and calves are getting more toned since I started riding in October.

I had better stop now before I compose the most over-the-top ode to bicycling since Queen released that catchy song.
