Another post about bikes

I'm not sure if this is more vindicating or embarrassing, but the day after the Tour de Lincolnville, I went on a ride down around the bottom of lake Megunticook and I realized one of the key factors that spelled out my loss the day before. Tires that were half flat! Crap. Oh well - I pumped them up when I got home

Sweet! It looks nice. I'm so glad you upgraded. As I said in a previous entry, those old department store mountain bikes are the worst bikes ever made. It broke my heart to think that anybody in the world should have to be stuck riding one of those things. And as I said in another post, Raleigh is one of the best brands in bicycle manufacture. Hybrid bikes are great, because they combine the utilitarian aspects of a mountain bike with more road friendly features. Congrats!

Actually, I just remembered that I rode a bike exactly like that when I was shopping for my bike. I was looking for something a little sportier, so I ultimately looked elsewhere, but it was definitely a good product.

This summer after my last department store mountain bike had broken in several very dangerous ways, I decided to go to a bike store and buy a good bike for the first time in my life. I went with the Raleigh Venture pictured here: http://agouracycles.com/images/library/large/raleigh_vntr_m_red_08_m.jpg

Three months later I am still every bit as pleased and excited about the purchase as I was when I bought it.
