salasentle: Year 2, Day 64 ~ Thursday, October 3, 2013 ~ Thunder Bay, ON Meet my new baby, Jette. I never used to understand why people spent a lot of money on bikes. However after logging a fair few kms in the past 4 years on my Canadian Tire special, I decided it was time to upgrade. I started thinking about it last fall (remember this road bike upgrade fiasco? http://salasentle.tumblr.com/post/31030846141/42-thursday-september-6th-2012-haliburton ), but it was a great sale at a local bike shop in Thunder Bay that finally made me cave. This bike is a huge step up from my last one. It weighs about half and seems to go twice as fast. I suddenly understand why people want to go on hours -long bike rides. The moment I set off for the first time, I started laughing out loud at how nice it felt to ride. I’m already planning a cycling adventure for next spring! -- source link
