Sore all over ()

by fluffy at 6:49 PM
Today was my first day with the bike commute. I have now quickly discovered how hard it is to ride on somewhat-bumpy roads on a bike with no shock absorption, teeny tires on small wheels, and a freaking hard seat.

So I'm tempted to just get one of these.

That comes with rack and lights and lock all for $300?? Nice looking bike. Whoah.

I decided to just commute by BART today. A 30-minute bike ride which leaves me feeling wasted isn't really any better than a 40-minute iPod-friendly walk+train ride which leaves me with plenty of energy. (Of course I'm still feeling quite wasted from yesterday's commute. I'm so freaking out of shape.)

A better bike would definitely make for a better ride though.

And I bought a new bike. Hee. Pretty decent Mongoose with an adjustable front suspension and a really light frame, and even with an upgraded seat and pedals and other fun accessories it came to about $520.
