The bus has really been getting to me.
Me: Hi Mom. I bought a bike (the one pictured!!) with the inheritance you gave me.
Mom: Did you buy a helmet too?
Yes I did. And a lock, and a set of fenders and a bike rack and at the end of it all, I told the man behind the counter if he through in a water bottle and holder, it was a deal. I also made the boyfriend promise that we would cycle Stanley Park regularly this summer.
All this is just in time for the Bike to Work Week. Wish me luck. It's a 10km commute each way. By the way, if you can't tell, it's a Brodie Infinity and I got a sweet deal because I chose a less expensive bike and the shop agreeed to swap the parts from that bike on to the lighter and better Infinity frame. At 1/2 hr to close, I also got them to cut a deal on the fenders, rack, and helmet. They threw in a water bottle and holder for free.
PS Mom: I love the color.
PPS: Brodie Bikes were created in Vancouver. Gotta support the local shops, right?
PPPS A Certain Jane: I get the bike on Saturday May 25 and bike to work week starts on Monday the 28.

Cool. What kind of a bike is it? Gee, my bike is stuck in Vancouver, I could have lent it to you. But maybe it is better to get a bike that fits your own height. Miss you, C.
Nice bike, Jill.
10km each way? Great exercise - screw the gym pass!
Ride safe - people in cars can be idiots.
oxo
Love your new bike and good luck on your new commuting routine!
You sure know how to sweet talk 'em!
Very very nice - but the color dosn't look like you - are you going to paint it?? Too bad we arn't all in the same place so we could go riding together.

i am biking to work as well though i am a lot closer so its not nearly worth bragging about ~ wow 10k .. that's awesome really :)
I hope the bike riding is going okay....no entries since the start of bike to work week....
