new bike

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2005.05.16

I picked up my new bike this evening, after having it loaded down with mud flaps and panniers and lights. Cost a pretty penny when all was in. But now I will be getting some exercise. Lights are mandatory, now, I've learned.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
