And so I'd like it to be with me. Each week, Jessica solved murder after murder from Cabot Cove. Her training as as a mystery writer kept her on par or above the local police force, and despite living in Maine, she owned only a bicycle as her means of transportation (I guess the cabs came in handy during the 10 months of inclement weather).
I pride myself on my walk to and from work (a brief 15 minutes door to door) and my fastidious knowledge of the MBTA buses and trains. If a place is accessible via public transportation, I can get there! I can drive, and will if I have to (G has a car which I drove by myself, this winter, on Storrow Drive to pick him up from the airport. It's the biggest favor I've ever done for anyone), but prefer environmentally friendly walking and soon...biking!
I got on a bike for the first time in maybe 15 years last fall in Block Island. True to the saying, once you learn, you don't forget. It was an exhilerating experience and since then, and especially with the onset of nice weather, I have been desirous of a bike. But a retro one with a basket (hopefully in pink or yellow!).
I came across these lovlies http://www.skeppshultbikes.com/index.htm, but have not been able to locate a local retailer or price. Mihee told me all I really needed was a cruiser, so some more searching located the following: http://www2.trekbikes.com/Bikes/City_Bike_Path/Cruiser/Classic/Index.php.
I'm pretty sure that paired with my writing, once I get my bike, I can solve Brookline's most intriguing crimes (see, "Oh my God, Where are my Spoons" and "The Case of the Loud Asshole in Zara's Basement").
