I Like To Ride My Bicycle
Last year I picked up a bike at a garage sale for $15. It’s a bit too short for me, and the tires are always a little low on air (it’s a cheap target brand bike), but it’s a lot of fun to ride. I’ve been riding it around a bit more here and there, and would love to use it for all my short range travelling needs, but it’s just a bit hard to pedal (due to size, and slightly deflated tires.) So I started dreaming…

The Trek SU100. MSRP: $419.00
A great value. Great bike (according to reviews). Similar to the Giant I owned for 7 weeks before it got stolen, thought that was more of a mountain bike. It’s just a bit out of my price range right now (my price range for bicycles currently being $0).
If anyone knows of a great used bike place, or happens to have a chance to pick one of these up for free (or is just feeling incredibly generous…) let me know :)
Getting in shape, saving money on fuel, and SINGLE HANDEDLY STOPPING GLOBAL WARMING! What more can you ask for? :)
Ha, that’s funny. My wife and daughter went to Iowa this past weekend and accidentally took my car keys with them, including our spare set. So I was unable to drive for two days. To get around, I borrowed my daughter’s bike — a cheap single speed from Walmart. I rode it all over all the place. It was great. This week I think I may crack my wallet a bit to buy a bike for my very own. Probably a cheap Target or Wal-Mart brand.
Hey Matt,
They’re cutting abandoned bikes off the rack in Freddy on July 10th. You should check ISU surplus (get there EARLY) after that. My friend Chris got a completely repsectable bike for $40. I think this might be a campus wide thing…so definitely worth checking out.
KILLER idea, Dustin.
Global warming - it’s coming right for us!!!
