the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2007.01.19

Today, by my careful calculation, my bicycle has paid for itself. I've been tracking the yen I've been saving in transit fares not spent, and even though the bike cost me about $1100, I've recouped it in 7 months.

I celebrated by falling while dismounting. Tore the front mud flap off!
