I have the sweetest boyfriend.

I have the sweetest boyfriend.  He has bought me two new bicycles in two days.  LOL

We found one at Target yesterday that wasn't hideous and ACTUALLY fit me.  I wasn't FOND of what it looked like (red, white and silver - not bad), definitely better than the 80's barfing up a unicorn one that we saw at Wal-Mart.  So we brought it home last night, and I rode it a little, and it was ok.  It was making noise and doing some weird bump thing, and I couldn't go as fast I remember riding when I was a kid.  It had no gears, and backwards brakes - just like I wanted.  But, I realized I wouldn't be able to do much with it.

So we went to Dick's today and I found one I REALLY like.  It does have gears and handlebar brakes, but that's ok.  I'm already almost used to the brakes.  I haven't a clue about this 21 gears thing, though.  I don't like how I'll be pedaling, but it feels like I'm doing nothing sometimes.  I guess it'll take some getting used to.  I'm ok with the gears and hand brakes because I'm not leaning over crazy far.  That was the big no-no for me.  I didn't want to be laying all down on my face to ride it.  LOL  And, it's fucking pretty.  It's purple and vine-y.  😃  Woohoo!  🙂

Before anyone thinks we're crazy, YES, we will be taking the crappier one back to Target.  I don't need to have two bikes.  LOL

Oh, and I was pleasantly surprised to find such a nice bike at Dick's.  It was less than $200, but it was really nice.  That's a good middle ground (to me, anyway).  Not Wal-Mart quality, but not specialty bike store prices, either.  I can't believe how much some bicycles cost.  😳
