Bike really does worx

Since the weather is so nice today, I Rode the bike into work this morning instead of taking the bus. It took 30 min to get from home to my office. I took the Parade via Rundle St and then into work. The ride was smooth and fast and the bike ran well, no issues, no "Oh hell what was that weird noise coming from the chain" no flat tyres, and no major incidents along the way. It is great to live in a city that has a bike friendly policy and where we can live and ride into work with relative ease. I rode this morning and wondered about all the people in cars, filling the air with smog and pollution. I thought about Phil the cat and how he loves to lie on the green shopping bag and how he goes "prrrrr" and runs off. I thought about the petrol (gas) prices and how I was saving money and taking the load off the health system by riding. It's so simple, you just get on and pedal and that's that. I mean you have to avoid things, sometimes really big things buses etc but otherwise its a relatively simple process to ride.
