Longtime readers may recall that my old bike was stolen over a year-and-a-half ago--from outside the polling station where I was volunteering on that awful night in 2004, no less. (No good deed shall go unpunished, right?)
Well, I've finally got wheels, again. My friend Randall (a former competitive cyclist and all-around bike nut) came with me while I looked at various models, the other day, offering free advice about everything from toe clips to handlebar configurations. I eventually settled on a nice, lightweight black hybrid called a Marin Kentfield--a distant cousin of my old bike.
I even managed to get it for a decent price--something which was particularly important in light of recent events, of course. :)
