I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike.

I've been fixing up the bike my dad gave me for the past few days. After finally giving in and going to the bike shop for advice, I filed my brake pads down a bit and realigned them. Finally, finally, my bike doesn't sound like a flock of geese anymore. Subsequently I've been riding much more often, and I love it.

Going to the bike shop did me in, though. I want a new bike really bad. A city bike with fenders and good brakes and some cushion. I was talking to the clerk at Bicycles in Town, and then I saw it.



Imagine it with silver fenders and a basket :D Now I need to come up with $250 somehow. Perhaps an early birthday present.
