A week or so ago I decided to go to the beach, and since I'm only a few miles away I decided to walk. So I packed up my backpack and put one foot in front of the other. Just over an hour later, I arrived. It was a very nice walk, but after spending a couple of hours on the sand and in the heat, I wasn't exciting about making the return trip. Despite stopping for clam cakes and chowder at Seafood Haven to break up the trip, the journey home was an ordeal that seemed to take, well, forever. Being a clever sort (debatable since I didn't figure out that the walk was too far) I came up with a solution - buy a bicycle. After looking around for a week I finally found one that fit the bill at Benny's. It's a one-speed, aluminum frame cruiser style bike, and best of all it was cheap ($99). Today I took it to the beach, and it was perfect. It took long enough to get there to be a light workout, but not so long that it seemed like work.
