Chapter 2: the grind and the rewind - Doomed, I tell you

So I finally bought a bicycle. It's not electric, and as a result significantly cheaper (though it turns out electric bikes Are legal in New Jersey). You might even say that they are solar (as they're powered by me and I eat other life forms that get their nourishment from the sun plus whatever is in those snacks in break-room; that stuff is certainly unnatural, some would say preternatural).

That helmet doesn't go in there, I think
They also have a distinct advantage of being light weight (almost like me) and fold-able, which means I can carry them on the bus (in theory) and deploy them in emergencies, like an escape pod. I do need to figure out exactly how to fully fold them, but I did manage to mostly fold them, which is a start. I intend to do a test drive tomorrow morning to the office, or as near as I can get, and try to divine their future that way - a useful vehicle or a post-modern environmental statue destined to reside in the living room.

Mostly folded
I tried to connect to work using the VPN as I have many, many bugs to open and firmwares to review, but, alas, I can't reach my destination or open any bugs. It looks like I'm doomed to spend this weekend as... a weekend.

  2. Wait, what's with the "rewind" instead of "refined"?
