I caught a pant leg in my bike gears last night and bent a thingie out of place so I took it into the shop too. There’s nothing wrong with my feet and the moment, but walking is so passé. Fortunately on my way to the bike shop I saw a new store (that I hadn’t seen before, anyway):

Maybe a little pricey at around $5000 but anything that gets both the Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos seals of approval has to be good for picking up chicks. Also from their website I seem to have my own private “direct line” to the company so I have no choice but to conclude that it is my destiny.
