Bike Life Lesson #1: Toss the gloss

Bug-free pucker

Gorgeous day – perfect for riding my bike to a meeting. On my way out the door, I grab a lip-gloss and apply it. Thick. And gooey. I imagined it would make me look polished and professional, despite arriving a wee bit sweaty.
Thing is, it’s hard to look polished with five small bugs stuck to your lips. Lesson? Take the wheels, dump the gooey gloss. Higher purpose for gloss? Use as fly-paper at the picnic table…
