I want to ride my bicycle
Posted in Friends, Random, Skateboarding on May 22nd, 2008So recently Joe came up with the notion that we should start a mountain bike gang, and after he purchased a new mountain bike for $150 I decided to get mine out of storage. I bought my mountain bike in eighth grade, but after only using it for about a 3 month period I put it in storage because I just started riding my skateboard everywhere. So after getting my bike out of storage at my mom’s house I rode it to Ace Hardware and walked through the isles to try and devise a plan for some sort of rack to carry my skateboard around on. Well after walking through every isle about 5 times I found what I needed and made my way back home. Now without my skateboard on the rack the front of my bike looks like an elk’s antlers (which is by far totally frickin’ awesome!), but it is by far the ultimate modification every done to a bike because it fits my skateboard perfectly and makes it really easy to make a trip to the skatepark or a skate spot.
In just a weeks time I’m noticing a huge difference on how much gas I DON’T go through, and I’m saving myself a days trip to and from work (which if you aren’t aware is roughly 82 miles total a day). This is awesome! It’s such a simple solution and all it takes is sacrificing a little time for travel.
sacrifice a little time for travel = save money on gas, get some solid exercise (buns of steel), and enjoy a nice relaxing travel with my ipod jamming in ear canal. Sign up for the bike gang today! It’s the best decision you’ll ever make!
