so, yes - i have a bicycle in detroit, now.

there's lots of reasons i wanted a bicycle for detroit. i've been talking about it for months - years, even. but, the event a few weeks ago where i got trailed really demonstrated the necessity of it. i was trapped by the bus line.

it's becoming normal, now, for dudes to hit on me late at night. i like to talk. and i won't talk to people that don't demonstrate a veener of politeness. but, the disappointed reactions at the end give me pause.

the ability to bicycle away is a strong escape tactic. i hope that it stays realistic. and, i need to rely on the city to make sure of that.

i'll update my list soon.
