# If You Don't Ride―You Don't Vote ```yaml title: If You Don't Ride―You Don't Vote published_date: 2012-12-20 00:00 ``` Today I thank my Wife who reminded me how important my bike was to me and convinced me to bring it back in the house. I had pretty much encased it in tarps, rugs and blankets in the shed but the Wife had too many good reasons not to let that happen over Winter. Now I'll spend my life regretting the week it spent outside.  She looks good still only with the scratch I gave her while hopping that fence last year. All is well, thank you Krystal for reminding me about what is important in my life. --- <div class="benjamin"> <p>✉️ <em><a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject={{ post_title }}">Reply by Email</a></em></p> </div>
