Bicycle Update I finally
Bicycle Update
I finally took the plunge and bought a bicycle. It's a version of the Specialized "Crossroads" family of bicycles. It's a silver-and-white sweet ride I can tell you. I picked it up on friday after having lunch with my friend Marcus and then rode it from Bicycle Habitat to Pangolin on 51st and Broadway. And thus went my first cycling in the city excursion. It wasn't so bad mind you. I know these cars, taxis in particular, can be jackasses but it's hard to see how you could be seriously injured in a mishap in the city since traffic usually goes so slowly. In any case, I don't think I'm ready to sign up for a Quicksilver stint. I will just ride my bike on the trails and central park for now thank you very much.
I spent alot less on the bike than I had planned. Because of this I splurged on a cool White helmet by Trek and the mother of all locks, the New York Chain w/ EV Disc lock. The lock cost almost about as much as the bike it seems. Seeing as how New York is the most popular place to steal a bike I thought it would be a sound investment.

I went on a 10 mile ride on my new road bike. How have you done since you got yours? Also, did you read my post about Charlie Waters?
