Great listening: Bike story from This American Life

Also, I almost forgot: Please listen to this past week's podcast of This American Life. (It's frustrating that I can do nothing more than send you that way.)

But listen. Do! After the saga about two homeless dudes and their efforts to break into the slam poetry scene (not bad), there's a touching and sweet story from Dave Dickerson about getting his first bike, and royally fucking it up. I know you'll be moved to tears the way I was. It's very sweet.

Serious! Click here to download the episode. (The story, "Take My Bike Please," begins at about 37:40)
