To Bike, Or Not To Bike
I’m trying to decide if I want to purchase a new bike as my current bike is a piece of crap that I pieced together from a couple of different bikes. I seldom ride now, but I think it’s simply because I am not comfortable on my current bike, and it is not mechanically sound.
I’m also thinking about participating in the Make A Wish Foundation’s 300 mile ride in late summer. That’s right, 300 miles… 100 miles a day. If I decide to committ myself to such an event, there’s no doubt I will have to get a new bike. I’ve been to a few bike shops and decided if I do buy a bike, i will be a mountain bike, but I’ll also buy an extra set of road tires so I’m not killing myself trying to pedal for miles on end with knobby tires. And, I’ll still have the knobby tires when I want to ride off road.
Decisions, decisions.
