ride my bike

I asked my brother to dig my bike out and he did. He also checked it for me. He says its fine. Apparently, though, they took the bike rack out of the dormitory that I live in now. The dorms that I will be moving to in about a month definitely has a bike rack.

My fiance and I went to the store and bought a bike for her. We bought bike locks and a light. She got the bike light home, started setting it up, and realized that it only had two settings when it was supposed to have four. She wasn’t going to worry about it, though, and went to go take her new toy for a ride. The gears popped less than 100 yards away from where she stared. She fixed it and the gears broke again, so when you peddled nothing happened. Needless to say the next day we brought it back to the store. We decided to wait until we move to the other building before buying a bike again. In the meantime, we’ve been looking on craigslist and freecycle for a bike for her. We’re trying, though!

I cannot ride my bike when it is buried in my parent’s garage and not here at college with me. I need to get it out of there and make sure it is still in good condition (check tires, breaks, corrosion, etc.) and then I can bring it up to college as long as I buy a bike chain. Our campus has bike racks in the basement of both dormitories but as safe as I feel here I don’t know if I would leave my bike just sitting there unsecured.

My fiance wants to get a bike as well. This paycheck we got more money then we planned on and she just received a raise from her other job so hopefully before the summer ends we will be able to buy her one. Then I will be even more motivated to get my bike here so we can go riding together! ^_
