new bike!
went out in search of a new bike with renee today.
i have a retro cruiser that i got last year. with a basket it's perfect for sojourns around the neighbourhood, but i am in need of a fast and sexy bike to get me across the city.
i decided to get a fuji track bike. ain't she gorgeous?!! i love the simplicity. no gears, no brakes.
i've never ridden a fixed wheel bike before but there's the option of flipping the rear wheel to allow it to free wheel. i'd need to add two brakes, instead of one (cause i'm just not cool enough), in that case. i'm also gonna buy hybrid bars; i can never get used to drop bars.
i'm gonna go back to bikes on wheels next weekend and make the purchase. not that i can really ride a bike for the next month, at least. but i'm excited for a time when i can!
