A Radish A Day - Days 8-10
Jessy Clonts, our neighbor in the Bay Area, test rode a Radish for 30-days this spring. This is a journal about her expectations, experiences and feedback. Enjoy!
Days 8-10
My friends and I have taken to using the word “bike” as an adjective to describe extreme bike-like behavior. As in, “That dude’s messenger bag is pretty bike,” or, “Did you see the way she just jumped over that pothole? So bike!”
I am becoming more “bike,” that much I know, but “bike” enough to ride the Radish in the rain? Not so much. Okay, I admit it, I cheated, alright? I cheated on the 30-day challenge just eight days in and got groceries in a car. But no doubt my eggs and paper milk carton lived thanks to the dryness in the trunk of said car.
I know what you’re thinking: the FreeLoaders are water resistant. I only did it the one time, and I walked and BARTed everywhere else during the torrential downpours this week. I’m telling you, I am working on it. I am really trying to become more “bike!”
