Someone back in the US was asking me for my news and I excitedly told him how I had my bike back from the shop and how thrilling it felt after going without a bicycle for TWO WHOLE DAYS. I could practically see his eyes roll back in his head with boredom.
I told my Dutch neighbor the same thing and she commiserated, telling me how she couldn't find her bike briefly at the train station and the panic it gave her to
imagine not having a bicycle.

@ginabythebay@hachyderm.io Do bike shops have rentals for these situations? Seems like a nice sideline...
