[...] I’ve been dreaming of buying a new bike. I gave Esme away because the fit wasn’t right and after spending weeks of my life on Ruby, I wasn’t willing to ride with a cramped bike. Riding Ruby to work isn’t practical for a dozen reasons, namely clipping in, leaving her downstairs in the bike rack and having to ride her on the street. Sweet Moses, you wouldn’t believe how many people I know who have been hit by cars lately, including one man in front of my running group this week. A car pulled right in front of him and we watched him hit the pavement. Phoenix must be the worst city for cyclists. [...]

I agree with you about Hillary! Woohoo! Have you seen this website? http://bushslastday.com/ (Ignore the Obama stuff below the countdown clock.) There’s nothing like knowing exactly who soon Bush will be gone to put a smile on your face!

Now that is my kind of bike! We just enjoyed bike rides along the Pacific. It was thrilling!

I echo jt’s sentiments. I quite literally have a bike shop in my back yard. Fixing a tire yourself saves you the $10 the shop will charge for install and the pain that goes into hauling it. Maybe next time

To the bike shop? I know for a fact that bringing Esme up to speed (if you’ll pardon the expression) is completely within your capabilities as a bike mechanic. If you don’t think so, ride that bad bike over to my place and I’ll show you.

You mean 20 jan 2009…..and I can’t wait too. Also here in Italy, we are looking for a change, but the one in USA will affect us too.

Love the bike! Beautiful weather, isn’t it? Honestly, none of the candidates are “Spectacular!” Too bad. (However, Obama is the worst–my opinion.) Cheers to a prosperous nation though and God Bless the USA!

I love esme. I’m actually thinking about getting a bike (with a basket) to run errands with. You make it sound so nice, that I’m going to restart my search!
