I have a terrible sense of direction.
\nI usually take what I think is a shortcut, only to come out 15 minutes later at a point before where I started, and end up stuck in traffic anyway.
\nI can’t even manage the Metropolitan Expressway.
\nTokyo feels like a maze to me\u2026
\nI bought this early in the year and just left it sitting.
\nWhy did I buy it? Well\u2026 just because.
\nI thought maybe if I had one, I’d actually ride my bike more.
\nDoes it work? Yes, it works.
\nI haven’t really read the manual, so I don’t understand all of it, but\u2014
\nI made it to Tsukuba for the first time in 8 to 10 years, and got there on the first try\u2605
\nI also arrived at the hot spring the other day on the first try\u25a0
\nSometimes it takes me the long way around. It tries to route me on surface streets.
\nI’d like to adjust those settings. Since it’s easy to remove, you can put it on any bike.
\nPeople say it adds weight\u2026 but honestly, I don’t think it matters much anymore.
\nMaybe I should just go with forged 16.5-inch wheels instead\u2026
