The BIKE!

I bought a bike!  Flako went with me to a couple of bike shops on Saturday.  The first shop I saw one I kind of liked and the second one I found one that I really liked.  Actually Flako found it so he's convinced that he basically coerced me into buying it, which he didn't.  If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have bought it.  I'm glad he went with me, even if it means him asking if I still like it every time he sees it.  He knows more about bikes than I do, which isn't hard because I seriously didn't know there was a difference between a mountain bike and a road bike until this last year.  I liked it because it was red.  He liked it because of bike things.  I think he was more excited about it than I was and I was really excited about it.  I've ridden all three days I've had it so far, going a little farther each time.  It's so much better than running.  My legs are crazy sore so I might need to take a break tomorrow.  I still need to get a few things for it, like a good water bottle, a bag of some sort for keys, and more lights.  I also think I want to get a new seat.  This one is ok, but not great.  Flako did tell me that my tires were ugly because they were only one color.  I really didn't know tires could be ugly, but I guess they can.
