Doppelganger Bike
I took my bike, PINKIE, out for a ride. I saw another women riding a bike very similar to mine. Could there be two PINKIES in this neighborhood? I should hope not!

Backstory: my mom lovingly sent me this interactive map of all the bicycle accidents, injuries and deaths in my city.
Hi A:
As your Mom, I would feel much more comfortable if you wore a proper
bike helmet. Can I buy you one when I come to visit (and if I do, will
you wear it faithfully)?
Love Mom
Good news! I called Huffy who makes the retro bike she REALLY wants, and asked if they make it in 24″ and they do! (BUT) only for Walmart! So, I got on line and ordered a 24″ Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser and got free shipping to boot! Dad and I were having an intense verbal exchange about my lack of coordination and driving skills while I attempted to ride (in the store) the 26″ Cranbrook Crusier that we found at the Alabaster walmart. It also led us into discussion on boy and girl anatomy parts. I tried to explain to him that girls parts are on the inside so it has to be comfortable to ride and that boy parts were on the outside, so it didn’t matter. He had a field day with that one, because I forgot they have a group down there, not just a solo performer! Oh, oh, almost forgot…so I ordered it and it was cheaper than the 26″…$79.00 instead of $95 and with tax it was $85.00. Okay, gotta go. mom
