When we found out it would be almost $200 to repair my bike, we decided it would be better to just buy a new one. We finally got around to doing that this week.
Since the weather wasn't cooperating and we didn't feel like waiting for a warm-up, we decided to bundle up and ride our bikes to a new little pizza place a couple of miles from home. We probably looked like dorks, but we had a good time!
Brian: "Do you see how that van has pulled too far foward, and now pedestrians can't cross safely?" No joke, that's what he was saying!
Bundled up and ready to ride!
How stylish do I look?!
I took this picture over my shoulder while riding.
Go, Ben, Go!
Side note: When Brian unloaded my new bike from the car, I was a little puzzled when he wheeled it into our kitchen, but didn't question it because I assumed he was going to take off the tags and stickers. The next thing I know, he's wheeling his bike into the kitchen. And then Ben's bike. And then Matt's bike. Of course I had to ask what on earth he was doing, and he said he just wanted to look at all the bikes. "What a bunch of beautiful bikes!" he said while admiring them from the couch. I was puzzled. Still am.
