grip of grace

It's 5:30am, I'm looking at my bike, thinking, "Should I really take this to Ortigas today?" Us girls! I'm a biker. Not the hardcore bike-to-work kind, but more of a weekend warrior. I've done city cycling, sometimes with a group, most of the time alone. I really want to take my bike to work, but I haven't gathered enough guts to actually do it. Why? I'm scared. Of what? Oh, just the buses, and trucks, and SUVs that bully you (yes, I've been bullied before).

Just recently, I was reintroduced to cycling. Two bully friends/ brothers (you know who you are!) pressured me to try riding out one evening, and since then, I was hooked! My first ride You know who you are! Next thing I knew, I had Pinky Pop (and owed someone some money because he was the one who egged me to buy that pink foldie), plus the basic biking paraphernalia needed so I would be allowed to ride.
