wednesday evenings

recently found a new way to appreciate the mid-week hump. owner of Commute bike shop, located downtown GR, started organizing weekly bike rides every wednesday night. they're a great way to enjoy biking. not too fast or slow.

any type of bike is welcome. fixed gears to mountains.

vegan cookies are made and shared before the ride begins which are always delicious.

the ride ends at Founders where the group has a few beers to end the night.

makes me appreciate that there are still people that like to take a break from the high-tek world of computers, phones, ipods, and blue-teeth and just enjoy something as simple as riding a bike. although the modern world has brought me many things that i think are relevant and i use just about everyday, such as this computer, i wish that the world could go back in time and just slow down. everyone is stressed when they don't need to be. did the people that go agro over 'progress reports' in cubicles as a full time job know that's what they wanted to do for the rest of their life? did they have the option of going to college and choosing a more chill career?

(this is my pill to cure stress)

how do you calm down?

technology; good, bad, or both?

does your job give you headaches/make you depressed?

(...if you're from grand rapids and own a bike i encourage meeting up downtown @ 9 in the lot across from vertigo on division. you won't regret it.)
