some day i will traverse at least one state and hopefully several on a bike
Start with Delaware and West Virginia.  They've got real short dimensions in one way or another.  Hawaii should be fun.

i bike all over forever everywhere.  sometimes it is lame to not have a car in asheville, but louisville was always most excellent for bikage.  the rad bus system helps.

Huh. No shit, Asheville? When inev gets back into Charlotte, we should do an Achecon here.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

If this can happen, those of you who don't actually live in Charlotte can crash at our house. We have the room, since we bought the house to have room for chil'lens, and haven't gotten around to making any yet.

And oh, what the hell, inev can crash here too.

We would not want to impose our toddler on non-child-having types, but the offer is very generous.  We are only about 3 hours from Charlotte, so we'd probably make it a day trip.  Little P doesn't do very well sleeping in strange places anyway.

Eh, we'd probably consider it practice anyway. Mrs. Haus has indicated when this pack of pills empties out, she won't be refilling it.

Whoa! Does that mean you guys are trying for a baby? I thought you already had children? Or am I mistaken?

fuck*ng babies.  i was all set to upgrade from my 15 year old solid frame half-ton mountain bike to a 15-gram fuck*ng bianchi when my wife told me she's pregnant.

i was all set to buy it the day before she told me, but i forgot to take a utility bill to the shop to qualify for the interest free credit and figured i would go back the next weekend. 

i'll be lucky to be able to afford it 20 fuck*ng years from now.  baws.

If selling babies for profit is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

Heh, it's a hee-larious joke because i posted an angry thread about human trafficking.


***EDIT: Oh my fuck*ng god. Chien, thank you for posting... I never knew much about Bianchi until I googled it out of curiosity about your post. They make a motherfuck*ng Ducati road bike. Schweeeeeeeeet!!! Of course, they start at around $2,300 from what I can tell (£1150-£4300 on a British website)...but still...damn.
