We stopped by REI today so nminusone could look for a tarp and I could look at bikes. Right by the front door, my eye was caught by a pretty little thing in a shade of pink very similar to the one on my first bike. On the far side of the pack though, I saw the Electra Streamride Black Betty and that was it. It's got pink and silver flame decals and the valve caps are black dice; how could I possibly ignore that? It's almost like there was a big sign with my name on it overhead.

I'm going to sleep on it for a while before I decide whether I should bring her home with me, but I've definitely got a big ol' crush. Seeing as how I bought a (much less expensive) bike years ago that I almost never used, this one definitely merits some thought before purchasing.

So we could go bike riding sometime. ;-)

[geekchick]

Yeah, in your copious free time. ;)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

But if I got some... :-)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

Uh... free time, that is.

(That didn't sound quite right.) ;-)

[geekchick]

Uh huh. Right. ;)

Somehow, I don't think bicycling will catch on as a new euphemism. ;-)

Ooh, shiny!

Reminiscent of you, certainly. ;-)

I'm just trying to imagine you taking it out on 7100...

[geekchick]

There's a trail that leads along 7100, but I wouldn't take a bike actually on to 7100 unless desperate. There are also miles and miles and miles of other bike trails in the area.

I'm all for more people getting bikes! :-)
