Subject: Bikes bikes bikes!!!! So I had an old mountain bike – old and heavy – no way was I gonna do a tri in that. So I bought a new one – nothing spectacular – on special but only for a season or so so I didn’t mind.
Had enough after a while – got a really good price on a Raleigh R300 Tour bike – never going to be the fastest thing on the road but it’d do me all right. Added a baby seat to the mountain bike and now the whole family can go out!
So there I was today – did a short ride and then off to the Local bike shop to get the R300 tuned up (still un named!!! Shame on me! ). Rode past a yard sale – on a Friday!! There were a couple of bikes out there. Checked then out on the way back home – OLD – heavy – but true road bikes. Wasn’t sure about it but as it turns out the women only wanted $5 for the paur of them – how could I say no???? So I gave them a good home – rode them both back – (only ½ mile to my house ) and I reckon with a quick tune up and maybe a couple of tubes that they will be ready to go. No idea of the make – began with an R – but I’d never heard of them before!!
So I gave them a good home – glad I built that new shed – I think I’ll need it now!!
We now have these 2 bikes, my tour bike, the new mountain bike, the old mountain bike. My wifes mountain bike, my daughters and my boys.
I think I should open a bike shop!!!
