New Bike

I am grateful for this new bike I started riding this week. By new, I mean eighteen years old. But it's new to me. There's been some rough terrain I have to cross trying to get to work and my road bike just wasn't cutting it. This super sweet mountain bike, on the other hand, is surely capable of handling all the sand, mud, potholes, and anything else that might be thrown at it. So thank you, bike, for enabling me to get to work and to go on little adventures. And thank you, Craigslist seller, for being a friendly, older gentleman, with whom it was a pleasure to meet. Tonight we ride!
