helmet

Everyone at my gym apparently thinks I am "special" because I come in every morning wearing a helmet. Seriously! Do these people not understand that a bike can go on the road as easily as a car can?

I bike a mile or so there and back and then I don't have to waste my time on the elliptical machine before I use the muscle machines. And I don't burn any gas.

But a man in black spandex said to me this morning, "That's a nice helmet you have there. What do you wear it for?" I made a joke about needing to be protected from myself. What I wanted to say was, "That's a very prominant package you have there. How many socks are you stuffing it with?" But I refrained.

I hate people at 5:30 am.
