Seattlite test

Rain coat? Check.
Puffy vest? Check.
Coffee addiction? Check.
Single car garage? Check.
Bike? Check.
Dog? No.

Yes, you read correctly, I'm one step closer to being a full-fledged 'Seattlite'. I purchased a used bike this weekend for $200. It's a little beat-up, but has 'good bones'. Anyway, my dream is to ride all the way to work one day - it's 14 miles each way. I need to get some new bike gear, pronto!

Specs:
- Cannondale R500
- 54cm
- 21 speeds
- Cool bike light

Apparently the original owner rode the bike across Alaska. Wasn't he worried about bear and moose?

You forgot:

Roof rack on car
Use of the word "sustainable" once per hour
Loss of highway merging ability
Abundance of KEXP or NPR branded gear
REI membership
Hiking boots

Can go on for hours....
