Its called Even the Girls (the link is posted in the comments) and its great! I've always had secret wannabe thoughts of becoming a bicycle messenger, but to be completly honest i'm still a little afraid of the traffic.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18715935-113756292799451126?l=craftycyclist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10577644781748281626noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18715935.post-1137536232112146292006-01-17T14:17:00.000-08:002006-01-17T22:02:15.586-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3246/1838/1600/mandystairs.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3246/1838/320/mandystairs.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></span><a href="http://selfportraittuesday.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">Self portrait tuesday </span></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">is a great way to start a new blog.
