I've been putting off buying one because I don't know much about bikes, and I don't want to spend much money. (Mission bicycles look soooo pretty, but they're too spendy for me.)</p><p>Frisbee/bicycling/scrabble all sound fun! Want to take a sabbath this Saturday or next?</p>Amit GuptaTue, 11 Mar 2008 20:49:16 -0000http://amitgupta.com/blog/shoebox/2008/03/09/notes-from-my-first-secular-sabbath/#comment-1173713<p>i like. congrats. also, you need a bicycle. can i plug my roomie's <a href="http://www.missionbicycle.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.missionbicycle.com">www.missionbicycle.com</a> ?</p><p>you mentioned in your original post about looking things up on google maps ahead of time, but i'm worried this might be considered bending the rules. i'd recommend purchasing a muni map (<a href="http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mmaps/indxmaps.htm)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mmaps/indxmaps.htm)">http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mm...</a> or a walking/bicycling map (<a href="http://www.sfbike.org/?store_resources" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.sfbike.org/?store_resources">http://www.sfbike.org/?stor...</a>, free with sfbc membership!) to find your way around. one or both of these were always in my bag before the iphone existed.</p><p>i would be in favor of making this a group activity, planning ahead to meet at the park and play frisbee or ride bicycles or something. or playing scrabble.</p>katherineTue, 11 Mar 2008 20:41:41 -0000http://amitgupta.com/blog/shoebox/2008/03/09/notes-from-my-first-secular-sabbath/#comment-1173711<p>@enidd -- I hadn't.
