Bike!

[fireun]

We had been looking at the used bikes in the back of the local shop a week ago, for djkc, not me, and this one caught my eye. She was still there, and the bike mechanic actually recommended her to me.

So I 'sold' my old bike to djkc and got her. This is Ye Olde Olde Bike.



New bike is lighter and easier for me to move along the road.

Only 3 speed, but those are three damn useful speeds. And look how easy it is to change gears!



And honestly, the whole build is kinda swanky.







And seriously, this seat? Most comfortable thing I have ever settled my arse upon. And it has shocks. Bumps? No problem.



So. Yeah. Trying to get used to a different handlebar layout/position and hoping my defective body doesnt defeat the attempt. But, dammit, I like her. She is pretty.

Shields over the tires = excellent for rainy days/puddles. I tried attaching plastic generic shields to my old bike, and barely noticed a difference. Got a new bike this summer with shields like your new one, and they practically make my splash-pants obsolete. She looks like she'll be a lovely ride!

I am looking forward to a decrease in road splatter on my clothes. first bike I have ever had with tire shields!

aren't bikes fantastic?
