This weekend I went shopping for a new bike and found a nice one. I started riding to work last week and have really enjoyed it but my old bike was a mess. Actually, it just needs a tune up but it’s big and heavy and I thought I’d look for somethig more suitable.

After walking up and down Broadway in the rain all day Saturday, I spotted one. Biff mentioned that he got his bike downtown and I wanted to stop into that place as well but they were more than I wanted to spend. In the end, I returned on Sunday and bought the bike I saw on Saturday.

The price was right, the bike was comfortable and I hadn’t found anything similar, for the price. I quick run to Mountain Equipment Co-op netted me a lock, lights and some other stuff. I have a few other items to pick up but I’m pretty much set.

I got a couple of good rides Sunday and really enjoyed my ride into work today. (That should set Biff off again…). After work, I rode to English Bay and had dinner; got to get it in while summer is still around.

All this as fall is only three weeks away.
