I made it back at night on my bike (I know, I know, you all must have been dying to hear from me today). It is actually easier to ride at night as there are less people around which means less chance of me running into someone or something. I also don't think there is much of a difference in my riding skills when I have a couple of drinks or none at all as I pretty much have issues stopping and going no matter what the case is...
I definitely already dislike the fact that cars are even allowed on the streets as it just makes for much more of a potential dissaster. Rachel gracefully rode into a parked Mercedes Benz today and the owner of the car was unfortunately still in it. Lucky for all parties involved, Rae was totally fine and his car did not have a scratch on it. In her defense, she was biking while on the phone... baby steps I guess!
It was a beautiful day today-- our first sunny day actually since we arrived. I don't actually know what I will do when it gets hot here though because I sweat even in the 40 degree weather while I am riding. You pretty much sweat no matter what the temperature is when you are on your bike. Deodorent is hands-down a must have. OH and my butt could not hurt more. You would think that someone would think of selling those super-comfortable seat covers in Utrecht. But no. So instead, I woke up this morning wondering why I felt so bruised...
Dont worry though, I was reminded right away once I got back onto my bike to go into the center. Ouch.
For any of my friends who are Soul-Cylce devotees-- if you want to mail me a nice comfortable seat cover, feel free.
