Got a new (old) bike. $180 from Craigslist. I think it was a good deal, even though the bike needed considerable cleaning and servicing after not being used for 10 years. I’m done with all of the external fixups, all that remains is for the front and rear hubs to be serviced (which I will probably do next week).
Who needs 20+ gears when 12 can do the job just fine? This thing is fast as hell. Plus it’s pink. Love it.
Laura and I are going to go on a lot more bike trips now, maybe even with some local groups. Yay!
