Consolation Prize [bicycling]

I mean, the car may not be driveable, but Princess TinyBike still works.

So I biked down to Time Market for an indulgently delicious breakfast.

It’s at least *some* exercise.

There are auto parts stores and auto shops less than a mile from where I’m staying in Tucson. The mechanics open Monday morning, though. Now that there’s daylight I’ll check fluids when I get home and will top them up. If I need to I’m pretty sure I can stay an extra day here. I have my laptop with me, so only the powers of procrastination will stop me from making use of this time.

I just need to whine about car troubles here because it isn’t fair of me to only make S listen to me whine.

I still hate how gendered car stuff can be.

I love that Time Market still exists and is thriving. We used to come here for breakfast after riding to Tucson from Tempe, to fuel up for the return ride.

The only way in which I like Tempe better is the lake and rowing.

Motorbikes can be even more gendered, not that that ever stopped me! :o)

Expensive, inconvenient, dangerous, and one more thing that has to be taken care of!
