get a bike

I either want to buy a second hand bike or get my mum’s old one that she doesn’t use anymore, then I can go for bike rides whenever I want.

i used to have a bike. i would ride along the road in a group with the rest of my friends. dad painted my bike silver and purple, since i was a little jealous of how good my best friend’s bike looked.

then, as the curse of aging would suggest, i grew up and now i no longer fit on my beautiful bike. not that i rode it that much anyway really. now it just sits outside in the rain getting rustier and rustier. when i get a new one, i will go eco-friendly riding about the countryside and make it my favourite mode of transportation.

(oh, and i can’t forget the bell! ding ding!)

hooray for living green!

got this has been a goal of mine forever!!! and tomorrow im getting the cutest bike, with a basket! yay! all i need is a little practice

bike shopping later!!! im very excited!!! :)

ive seen one i like! if i get the full time job im (half) hoping for i will buy it, as it will save me alot of time – i currently walk to work.
if not, i will remove this goal (and maybe re-add it if i move to amsterdam, copenhagen or other biking places)

My birthday present this year is a bike. I heard of an organization that fixes and sells used bikes. I am excited check it out next week!

I Used to cycle everywhere while i was at school, then when i moved to the city for Uni i took my bike with me. Yet it was stolen barely a month later, i then replaced it with a cheap 2nd hand one which although lasted another year was also stolen. Now that i no longer live right in the city centre i would like nothing better than to get a brand new bike and begin cycling again.

My dear friend helped me locate a preloved bike that needs some new parts and repairs. Even better still, he’s going to help me with it. Yeeha! I shall have much fun with this. It’s such a great feeling to have this goal complete, as this was one of the first goals I set up, when I joined 43T in 2007 :)

There’s a yearning deep down inside me that comes out every so often to just get on a bike and ride. Ride, and ride, and ride. So one day, in college, I bought a bike. A cheap bike, a $50-from-Wal-Mart bike that I stuffed into my car, hauled home, got on, and rode. I rode everywhere, all over town, for the whole day. It was one of the best days of my life! And then, when I got home, I placed it in the bike rack and said to myself, “Shoot! I forgot to get a lock! I’ll pick one up first thing in the morning.” Well, needless to say, the “first thing in the morning” part wasn’t soon enough. My precious new love was stolen in the night. I haven’t bought a bike since, but the yearning hasn’t gone away. I shall buy another bike, a lock for it, and ride into the sunset! (Or across America…)

One of my friends phoned to let me know he has acquired a bike that was being given away. He may just pass it on to me if the size suits me. I’ve been speaking bikes with him for ages, so he has been on the lookout for me. I’m going to check it out this week. Oh yay, it would be more than cool if I can finally check this goal off!
