I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I am familiar with the upside-down-pedal problem from my current set up (I lost my clips at some point and now I have straps that are okay). And I can practice with the bike set up in the training, uh, thing so it doesn't fall over. Hm.

Now I want to go look at my gear shifters, I don't remember where they are.

Shouldn't that pedal problem be one we should be able to solve by gyroscopes or magnets or something by now? We're living in the future, people, let's get on that! Of course, I don't really know how to ride a bike, so possibly you should consult someone else on this project.

I'm not sure when I caught Liese cooties...

Ha! ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND CLEAR COOKIES!

This is how sad my life is... I read Liese's post above out of context and I was like, "Is this related to girl scout cookies?"

Der.

The status is NOT quo.

When she said "toss my cookies" earlier I thought she meant vomiting. My life may be sadder.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yes. It is true. I always vomit after I have been forced to accept marketing cookies. It is helpful.

However, I do not have Gracie Girl Scout cookies, so I am the saddest.

We are cookie boothing in our neighborhood in February and March. You can come visit and get cookies!

This is a good plan!

There's normally an outpost of Girl Scouts outside the supermarket where I can acquire Trefoils. Though I'm not supposed to acquire Trefoils.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I take it they don't have the pedal designed such that the center of gravity is offset from the axis of rotation. I wonder why.
