My new bike
Amidst rising gas prices, I have decided that it was time for me to invest in a bicycle. I originally planned on buying one from Walmart, but their quality didn’t seem very good so I ended up getting a dual suspension mountain bike from Target. At $89, it was only $20 more than a tank of gas would’ve cost me. At first I was expecting to fall down a bit since I haven’t ridden a bike since I was 8, but so far everything has been great. Apparently what I’ve heard was right: You never forget how to ride a bike. However, I still don’t fully understand the gear system that seems to be on most mountain bikes nowadays. Regardless, I have been enjoying my bike rides to a from lunch (about two miles each way). I recommend buying a bike for anyone else trying to save money on gas.
