They See Us Rollin'
by Adam & Lara on 03/13/11
After 2 weeks back in the States we've done a good job of not sweating the small stuff. Cellphones, a car, jobs, health insurance and all that other crap can wait. We bought bicycles instead.
A 1950's Schwinn cruiser and a 1980's Peugeot mountain bike, 2 gether 4 ever.
Why didn't we do this earlier?! These things were cheap, use no gas, and ensure that no matter where we go we arrive disheveled and glistening with perspiration. And according to the 2011 Sports Illustration Swimsuit Issue, that look is sexy.
We bought these beasts from a quaint little establishment called Farmer John's Barn. It's a combination junkyard, junk barn and junk pile that sells old bicycles at a reasonable price. The service was impeccable. We were given a tour by Farmer John himself, who shared dirty jokes and a few suggestive comments that gave the ladies that old fashioned uncomfortable feeling that is hard to come by in today's obsessively PC society.

Adam fraternizing with the who's who of Chico: Farmer John and CBS 12 Action News anchor Kira Klapper. They spent the afternoon together behind the barn, leaning on fence posts and flipping nickels.
We're in Chico, CA at the moment, heading to Eugene, OR on March 16th. If you're in the Pacific Northwest and want a free dishwasher, dogsitter, hammer hand or gimp let us know.
