Another year (ho hum)...
So, since I got a flat tire earlier this week, and since I promised myself that if one of these old, tubular, sewn-up, glued-onto-the-rim tires ever went flat that I would go buy a new bike, and since I had a major "gulp" upon learning just how much a decent bike costs these days (my old one is over 30 years old), and since my wonderful brother convinced me to crack open my old wallet (if I can find it around here someplace) with the words "What the heck else am I going to spend my money on? I’ve suddenly realized that instead of saving for a rainy day, I’d just view life as a constant gentle shower and spend some money," and since (ta-dah!) today is my 63rd birthday, today I started in earnest looking for my new bike.


It's going to be one of these two ... which do YOU think I should get?

The Classic


~~or~~
The Tetrahedral

My vote is for the Burning man bike. Should include a solar powered frig for the beer and a second level bunk for quick naps and ...

... that second level bunk would be for "a solar powered frig" (and don't forget to apply the SPF 40 on your sensitive parts).

(I was, indeed, rolling on the floor when I read that).

I finally wimped out and got a Surly Long Haul Trucker (see more recent post above).
