My neighbor Ryan took me to the UC Davis Bicycle auction today. :) About a year and a half ago I took my sister's old bike from my folk's up to my apartment. I rode it twice, until one day when somebody stole the rear wheel. The bike was locked, but they took a wrench and ran off with my wheel. :(
Knowing I would soon move and couldn't afford the time to repair or move a half bike, I gave the rest of it away.
My bike today I got for $25. It had two flat tires, but one just needed air. The other needed a new tube, so I bought that and repaired the bike.
It took me a while, but I did ride the bike around the block. It seems to be working.
I bid on some other bikes. I wanted a spare bike to have around should a friend ever visit. :) I'd love to go out to watch the owls with somebody, and having the spare would make that so much easier!
I also went to election duty class today. Busy day, but I'm so excited that I have a bike again!
