Bicycles

I've wanted a new bike for years, but just couldn't justify the expense. Sure, I could pick up a bike from Costco for $300, but it just wouldn't meet my needs. Then again, it seemed silly to spend a lot of money at a bike store since I don't do much biking. I always found myself debating the two points, and ultimately I'd decide to stick with Anthony (my Diamondback bike).

Anthony and I go way back, and I can prove it. I don't know how many people would still have a twenty year old receipt, but you know me, so of course, I do.


My parents bought me Anthony on September 3, 1988 as an early birthday present. I hadn't cracked age 14, and I don't even think front shocks existed back then, let alone full suspension.

Anyway, a new day finally dawned, and I purchased a new bike today. He doesn't have a name yet, but he seems like Max.


Well, I keep dozing off while trying to write this, so I guess I should close my laptop and get some sleep.

UPDATE
I wanted to see the weight difference between my two bikes. Anthony weighs 37 pounds, and Max weighs 29 pounds 6 ounces. Thank goodness I don't have to lug around that extra eight pounds anymore!
