		<title>My New (old) Platforms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been riding an older bike to work since my Specialized was stolen. When I first bought the bike it had some old platform pedals that I shunned because I wanted cleats.

We&#8217;ve been teaching him to yell out &#8220;Kowaku nai yo!&#8221; (You don&#8217;t scare me! in Japanese) to handle it. Last night he added to it by starting to do [...]]]></description>
