get a bicycle

I had the opportunity, a ride & an assistant & I did it.

This goal has been off & on my list since I joined this site, it’s good to have it finally completed!

Now to get riding. My partner’s getting a bike by the end of the year so I am looking forward to riding together :)

I’ve decided to make this a priority as I want to take up a form of more physical exercise & I think bike riding sounds like quite a good option. I’m going to make this a goal to complete by the end of my two week Summer break… So I can get started asap!

I had a windfall & thought I’d buy a bike but it didn’t happen that way & now I am focused on my saving for my future studies again so getting a bike is probably not going to happen right now.

I’ve given up & re-opened this goal a few times now…

I am in a position to put this back on my list.
It’s much more likely to happen now :-)

I’ve decided to give up on this goal as I have other priorities for my money at present. I am working towards further academic study & I am really going to need to have some savings for next year.

Bikes are great & I still want one in the future but when my partner & I can both afford one & right now we live close enough to everything to walk so it is not a huge deal.

As well, we are coming out of Winter & I was thinking it would be useful for Winter days to be able to get to places faster but our Winter was so mild that it was not really an issue.

So it is not really a goal, it would just be nice to bike around with my love one day.

So I keep delaying on this one… I have more than enough money saved for it & I’ve now talked to my father about coming with me to help me pick out something good. It is mostly a time thing so the next available time is either this weekend or more likely the following one.

Hrm, well, I’ve had a little sort of windfall (got paid back some money owed) so maybe this weekend I will look at bikes, particularly if I can co-ordinate with my Dad.

I really do want to do this but finances are a little up & down lately. I also feel like I need to pin down some help from my Dad to do this, to make sure I get something good.

I have the money saved, now I guess I just need to find the one that I want, new or second hand. I want something reliable though so I might opt for a new one unless I find something really good second hand.

But I kind of need/want my Winter coat first.
There is little wrong with my olde Winter coat other than it lacks character & I am sick of it. It makes me feel like I am wearing a dressing gown. Okay, so perhaps there are a few things “wrong” with it. I am back to feeling justified! hah.

So it is Coat, then Bike.
Hoorah.
