I recently acquired a bicycle from my friend Aaron, who is trying to convince me that wheels are more fun than running shoes. As you the reader most likely already know, I consider myself foremost a runner, with one marathon under my belt. I've always thought those bikers who use also use Prospect Park's loop were kind of cheating.

Well, I know now that they certainly are, and it's hell of a lot of fun. Going 20 miles an hour on a thin band of steel and rubber is a good time. Whoo Hoo! Running remains more spiritually fulfilling to me, but it's kind of nice to be able to go real fast...
