In Which I Gets a New Ride
I bought myself a used bike a few weeks ago from the Salt Lake City Bike Collective. It was more or less my size, it more or less worked, and it was only fifty bucks. A steal! Unfortunately, it was heavy, and the gears ground, and the brakes were soft, and it was a huge pain to ride a lot of the time. But I was stuck with it for the next while. OR SO I THOUGHT.
Today my coworker brought in her new bike, and it looked beautiful and functional, and the price she quoted seemed reasonable (more the $50, but still within my price range), and I experienced total bike lust. So after work I went out and impulse-bought a second bike. Here it is:
I am hoping it will prove to have been a wise decision. But when you are as fickle and wasteful as I am, it’s never safe to bet on that.
