Coffeeneuring ride #1: Bump 'n Grind




I found out about the Coffeeneuring Challenge and thought it looked like fun.

I wasn't feeling well today but got myself out of the house to take a trip to Bump 'n Grind. They made a decaf latte topped by a lovely latte leaf.

There's a Capital Bikeshare stop right outside the shop, but I didn't see any bike racks. I locked my bike to a stairway railing. Getting to the shop isn't the easiest because the traffic on East West Highway is very fast. I had to do some sidewalk riding, which isn't ideal either. I combined the trip with a ride to the grocery store. A woman told me that she used to have a bike like mine in Germany a long time ago. The Linus seems to bring out comments, compliments, and stories from passersby.

Oh, and butterfly handlebars I put on the Linus didn't work for me, so I'm back to the original bars. I'll be experimenting with a few stems of different heights and extensions and working on being mindful about not locking my elbows, to try to get rid of the elbow pain.
