I dipped into my rent money two days later and ordered one on sale for $300 at Bikes Direct. Let me tell you, it was the best $300 I've ever spent in my life. Hands down. I ride that sucker to school every day (when school's in session) and a lot of evenings when I get home from work too wound up, I go out and just tool around the neighborhood for a couple of hours. I should post pictures of my new shirt as soon as I get to doing my laundry... it has a picture of a bike and says "PUT THE FUN BETWEEN YOUR LEGS"  |
I'd like to try riding fixed gear someday. I'll probably fall but that's half the fun, right?
They make stickers, too.
