JUST BECAUSE WE CAN.

this is what i do for a living. today i drove, wearing a full on biking cloth, wearing a helmet and biking shoes, all the way to kiryat shmona, to buy a bicycle tube, and then came back. 400 kilometers round trip. it was, again, for a magazine piece we are doing for next month. we heard the tubes over there were cheaper, and we were given a car with free fuel for the day. so we drove all the way, to buy a tube, in the most northern bike shop in israel. we didn't even bring a bike. we ate in restaurants, walked around, drove back and forth wearing bike suits. it was stupid. and fun as hell.
they pay me for this... i can't believe it.

למה אתה מותח אותנו היה יותר זול או לא?

ברור שיותר זול...
הוא עשה הנחה מיוחדת לשרוטים, ויצא לנו 17 שקלים לפנימית חומר!!! אבל זו היתה הנחה חד פעמית. בקיצור, לא יודע אם שווה לנסוע עד קריית שמונה בשביל פנימית. החנות היתה נחמדה, עם אנשים נחמדים, והנוף היה נהדר... לפחות זה, לא?
