The quest for produce:
Spring is here, so let's eat well.
Weather permitting, let's go get some veggies.
Bring a bag, probably a backpack, and some cash, and we'll ride down to the farmers' market and buy some nice fresh produce. Carrots seem appropriate. Bonnets and fluffy tails welcome.
We'll ride along the river, enjoying the view, then up to PSU.
We use bicycles as the best way to see the city.
We explore neighborhoods.
We have fun.
And we like a good lunch.
We really wander. We make u-turns. We stop and look at things. We detour, a lot. So lead us down some alley.
