The Bike

I am really glad I didn't end up selling my bike. It's a Japanese road bike that fits my 5'2 frame very well. Right now it is resting in my storage unit downtown with a new chain lock (the guys at the bike store said it would be good enough, but I'm a little weary of only having one lock even though it will wrap around both wheels). 

It took me about 8 years to work up the courage to bike in NYC. (Thank you, Amsterdam!!) And in NYC I knew the streets, Now, in Seattle, I barely know which streets go where and which direction they run in and, oh, the hills. 

I'm currently working in deciphering my new Seattle bike map. The design is pretty good... Light colors with small type that <stopping myself here!>

So now I have to decide where to bike to.,, discovery park? Lake union? Along Elliot Bay? And what the hell is a "sharrow"? 

Ahhhhhh!
