Lisa and I spent the past few weeks looking for one (although the extreme heat we've had lately put a damper on that for awhile). She brought her bike with her a few weeks ago when she came back from visiting her parents in Georgia. And there's a great bicycle/jogging trail that goes by our place. So of course being a good young married couple that does everything together, she made me get one too so we could go ridin'.
We finally found a good one today at the Super K-Mart in Greensboro, made by Mongoose. So we went out for a "test drive" on the trail this evening after dinner. And I really need to figure out the gears on the thing 'cuz my legs got a way horrid workout going uphill the hard way. But I think this is going to prove to be a very wise investment in the long term. It's great exercise, and it's going to help me work toward a goal that my friend Chad has convinced me to go for: running a full marathon, like he's done twice now.
But that's a ways off still. I gotta train first and start a real running regimen like he's got. In the meantime, I'm trying to get "Bicycle Race" by Queen out of my head :-)

Shoot! I was going to sing "Bicycle Race" in your comments. Until I read your last line. I guess I won't do that now :P
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo...
It's bad enough that 98.7 FM here (their motto: "We play everything!") has played that about ten or so times in the last few weeks whenever I listen. Good lord I'll *never* get that tune out of my head now :-P
