The wheels on the bike go round and round
Was able to ride my bike this morning for the first time
in more than a month. What cheer. We are so lucky to be
in a city that lets us ride our bikes so much: we have
much to thank Bicycle Victoria for — every time you
see a bike path by a river or a bike lane painted on the
road, do think of BV and praise their pretty cotton
socks.

I went all engineer on my fair chariot¹ last night and cleaned the drive-train and oiled up the chain and tightened bolts and fiddled with knobs and everything and this morning it ran like a sweet, sweet dream.
The weather is delicious here in Melbourne today and riding a bike could not have been more enjoyable. The sun was fingering my face, there was a hint of a breeze to let you know you were outside, the traffic was rider-friendly, the other riders were all cheerful and wearing shorts and looking hot.
Bike-riding. A simple pleasure but isn't it good.
¹ I actually have a name for my bike: Statler,
after the Muppet. Go ahead: call me a freak.

I know I have already responded to this post over at my blog but I just want to see if I can comment here without the beta going blaaaah at me.

I've opted out of my usual 10km bike ride to work today in preparation of the Xmas party. I wouldn't want to be riding home after that.
It's great to have you back in the saddle after such a long time Harpo!

Yes, speaking of the Xmas party…
I didn't describe the office Christmas party because on Friday I was incapable of function. eljustino and Charlotte were there but for everybody else, all the staff and a few partners all went out to dinner and after visiting a few bars we were at Honkytonks and, to answer your question, Charlotte, after dancing myself to a frenzy I just stepped outside for some air. The venue took that opportunity to close and lock the door. By the time I ring the guys you'd all moved on to Prahran or some crap. I think you'll agree that was my cue to go home.
Our entire support desk turned up on Friday morning not having slept. It's that sort of office.
