Month: July 2010

I have a new bike on the way! (From Walmart). And before you judge me,
know that I would have LIKED to buy a bike from a local shop such as
Freewheel Cyclery, but I do not have four thousand dollars to spend.
This one is 170 bucks and has generally positive reviews online.
(Denali men’s road bike, 26″) And many people object to shopping at
Walmart on the claim that it is full of environmentally unsound crap
from China, while continuing to shop at Target instead. But I would
point out that all of Target’s crap comes from China as well, they
just market slightly better-quality products. But a lot of it comes
from the same Chinese factories and travels the same thousands of
miles. And another thing, I will totally make up for any negative
environmental impact by biking to work instead of driving, and also
what is up with people and their goddamn cell phones? And screw those
dumb news reports about “sexting,” making it seem like a nationwide
epidemic among youth. “Vodka eyeballing” also is fabricated. Ok,
breathe.
