Helmet Head

Just popped home for a bit after picking up my bike, light, lock, helmet, some coffee, maps, water bottle, mug, and other goodies. Very very cool bike, custom built by Giant and Shimano [play the "Jump Your Co-Workers" game on the Shimano site]. More details later, hopefully with pictures.

Funny thing is that we received driving and parking directions yesterday to get down to the Minnesota Transportation Building, where we received our bikes and celebrated Bike to Work Day. So, for some folks, they drove to Bike to Work Day. I took the bus, mostly because I'm only five minutes away from the Capitol.

I'll post more later today about the festivities. I did, however, ride away after the ceremony and got home long enough to check in before heading off to a meeting at William Mitchell College of Law, then lunch with my son Max at his pre-school. At this point, my only concern is how to take care of the helmet head that develops from wearing a helmet while I bike all over town. Maybe it's a status symbol among bikers. I'm not sure my clients will understand.
