I had both a dentist and a doctor appointment today. Such is the fun of being 40. The dental checkup went well. The hygenist and I had our semi-annual banter:
Her: How often are you flossing?
Me: Not as often as I should be.
Both: (forced) Ha ha!
It's shameless how we flirt.
Then I got bad news at the doctors office: I've gained 7 pounds since last year! It's possible it has something to do with my markedly decreased mileage this year. Here at the midway point of 2009, I'm just barely over 1100 miles. This time last year, I was just over 2,000. Hmmm, decreased mileage equals weight gain? Perhaps.
Oh, and the doc mentioned something about a broken wrist. Gave me a splint, and might give me a cast next week. He's a good man, and thorough. Summer bummer!

A broken wrist does not need to keep you off the bike. With the right bars and some duct tape, all is not lost.
Better yet, take a set of handlebars with you when they put on the cast. Before the plaster/fiberglass is dry, push your arm down on the handlebar piece and voila -- the cast is already cycle friendly.
Love the Lebowski quote! But that's, uh, just like, my opinion man.

Since I already said it, I'll pass on the invitation.
Bummer dude. Looks like you won't be rolling on Shabbos or any other day for a while...
Correct me if I'm wrong, dude - but couldn't you still ride the trike? Wouldn't have to put weight on the bars...
Also, dude - muscle is the preferred nomenclature for extra weight.

Seven pounds? Ha! Wait til you're 50.
