Putting our money where our mouths are

Mags and I just spent a big chunk of change to move closer to downtown SLC, 8 miles closer to our jobs.  It was a lot of work, and money, but we wanted to be closer to where
things are happening.  Now we can ride our bikes to the grocery store,
the theatre, the library, several restaurants, a bike shop, and most
importantly, to work.  Our neighbors are
all yuppies with BMW SUVs and Volvos, so if it weren't for the sunshine
we might think we we're back in Seattle.  We're trying our best to be
urban hipsters, but mostly we're just glad to be back in a place where cars aren't a necessity, where there aren't any cul-de-sacs, where drivers know how to treat cyclists on the road, and where businesses provide bike racks. 



The best part about the whole move is that it will save us money by keeping us fit.  Some engineers at the University of Illinois have the evidence to prove it.
