I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike!
This is my new bike. I agreed to buy it today off Sam, one of the rowers. He’s on Erasmus and is returning home to France, so he’s selling his bike. So I’m buying it second, well now, third-hand. I had a test spin on it today after my exam, gingerly cycling around the Fortress of Solitude (College) whilst it crawled with cops, staking the place out in anticipation of Yer Woman, and then going for a further spin around the empty streets of the college perimeter. I’m delighted with it. I think it’s a very good bike at a good price, and it has a bit of character to it, so hopefully it will work out between us. I love the lovely blue colour; it has fantastic tyres and best of all, it has a carrier and mudguards. I still have to find a name for her, or maybe a him; it seems like a rather masculine bike. But I won’t know that until I have it a while and I’m used to cycling it, and I won’t get it until next week. Exciting bicycle times ahead!
