was someone listening?

Several weeks ago, you may remember, I became the proud owner of a Slim Cycle, a nifty little stationary bike.  So far it is living up to all my expectations and I do ride it for 30 minutes on any day that I don't have other exercises.  Today. for example, I walked two miles and spent an hour at an exercise class so I didn't feel the need to ride my bike.  However I do ride it frequently.  When I told my brother that I had gotten an exercise bike his response was "Why, did you run out of closet space?"  That alone has spurred me on to use it.  I did spot one tiny flaw though.  I mentioned to a friend that it has everything I need except a cup holder.  Well, guess what?  Today I got a UPS package from the company and inside, you guessed it, was a cup holder.  The package also contained a large floor mat to set the machine on (I guess this saves wear and tear on the carpet) and, this is really good, a padded cushion to fit over the seat. It was OK before but now it's really comfy.  Who knows, with water and a comfy seat I might get up to 35 minutes.
