A common barrier to giving bike commuting a try is putting one's mental focus on what one is giving up - AC, the stereo system, multiple cup holders, cell phone charging outlets. I find it much more helpful to put my thoughts toward what I get out of bike commuting - quiet time, a built in exercise within my day, a little extra exposure to vitamin D . . . . AND . . . .

| The wonderful storefront of the new Sweet Shoppe and Nut House! |
a guilt free reason to stop in and patronize Flagstaff's newest locally owned business,
The Sweet Shoppe and Nut House at 15 Aspen Avenue. The luscious looking candy coated apples locked on to us from across the street. We were helpless under its tractor beam-like strength and entered the crowded new candy shop without the slightest resistance.
And why not? Enjoyment of what we eat is the civilized way. When you pedal to most of the places you need to go you don't need to fret about enjoying a
small serving of the best cchocolate gelatto on the planet. And it was, damnit! I savored every bite of its rich, dark, chocolaty goodness without guilt, shame or worry about calories (all of which contribute to indigestion!).
Bob got one of the chocolate, caramel and pecan covered apples, sliced for easier munching. He also purchased a large square of chocolate, coconut and walnut fudge for sharing over the weekend.
