hope ya got a big trunk...
cuz i'm putting my bike in it.
with all this talk about the upcoming, GIGANTIC tax raise *sarcasm*, i decided to buy myself an early bday gift. or something like that. i was considering either really nice running shoes or a bicycle. well, i hate running, so the choice was obvious. i've always ridden mountain bikes, but after doing some research i found that i should be riding a hybrid. hybrids are good for fitness & long distance riding, combining the best attributes of a racing bike & mountain bike.
the place i went to was really cool. non-intimidating, very informative & reasonably priced. the bike i got comes with a 10 year warranty, so any problems i have i can take it back to the shop & they'll fix it for free. sweeeet.
see? it even says fitness on the bike!
and now, some artistic photos, to show how emotionally sprung i am with my purchase...
the chain is the road and the bike is my heart...
***EDIT***
this was (pretty much) the ride i took today
that's about 17.7 miles. i think i'm gonna be sore tomorrow =(
the checkpoints are just to help figure out the distance.
