multiplying

Lately I have these incidents where I see things and think, oh, that would make a good post, but then find myself handicapped by an inability to remember it by the time I get home. You see, in an effort to maintain proper distance between my workplace (not an appropriate blogging location) and anywhere else (blogging-friendly locale), I have concluded that this is why people twitter. But also it has made me contemplate that this is how people start to/continue to lose that filter between brain and mouth, or in this case, fingertips. It's important, really, to remember that not everything you find remarkable (in its most pure form, meaning worth of remarking about) actually is. I find that many problems can be traced to that same root - that people frequently fail to pause and consider whether what they are about to say is important, appropriate, or adds value. Along the same lines, it makes me wonder if saying someone is calculating is really the pejorative that people automatically think it is. Perhaps it is just noting that someone takes the time to calculate the weight of their words - which is not such a bad thing.

Ahem. That was random - sorry.

Now to completely fly in the face of the above, I will return to the original purpose of this post, which was to wonder if there is some new trend in the world regarding bikes with strangely high handlebars. I wish I had a picture - I will try to remember to take one later on - but there has been a bike for some time in my garage with these crazy high handlebars. They start in the same place as normal ones, but then after they split into the right and left sides they extend for at least 1.5 feet before terminating in handles. At first there was only the one, but today I noticed for the first time a second one. They're multiplying! My thought is that they must be more ergonomically friendly or something, but isn't that what those odd reclining bikes are for? Maybe this is the cheap man's version. Despite this, I have never actually seen one in use, so I can't tell.
