Aint she a beaut?  Meet my new bicycle– a 21″ vintage Peugeot, complete with cargo rack and adorable horn.  The French woman who sold it to me called it a ringer.  It is basically rust-free (just one tiny little spot on the front) and in working order.  God bless Craig’s List.  I’ve been waiting for what feels like forever for the perfect bike to fall into my lap and, last Friday, it did.

So, I suppose I should add to that list of New Year’s resolutions I put up last week: I will bike more, drive less.  That is the hip thing to do after all, isn’t it?  Plus, since I have a cargo rack I really, really don’t have an excuse.
