so i have been so engrossed in reading about bikes, bike maintenance and alternative (read car-less, bicycle-centric) lifestyles i have totally been forgetting about SG.
Well i'm still alive. and i still have not had a chance to ride on the new bike.
I got it on friday and put it together that night. I did not have the proper tools so I was not able to fully tighten the front break nut nor was i able to attach the pedals. (and even if i was able to attach the pedals i wouldn't have been able to use them effectively because they require special shoes. I also could not determine the best method to mount the pickup for the bike computer/speedometer.
So my new bike has been sitting in my dining room taunting me with it;s sleek-lines and eye catching colors every day. I want to have this bike's love child i am so infatuated with it.
After i knew the bike was on it's way i called the bike shop and made an appointment (well extended the appointment i already had) to have them go over the bike and make sure everything was in working order. I dropped the bikes off tonight and i don't get them back till at least friday. Thought because of logistics i don't think i'll be getting them till saturday morning. and i cannot go on a long ride because i am going to a picnic later that day. Hopefully i'll be able to ride it on monday when i have the day off.
Well it's past my bedtime and i have too many meetings tomorrow to stay up till all hours of the night. so toodles
