My old bike was falling apart from crappiness, so I went to check on some second hands, and found this one for about $70. It's a nice bike, with the same color as my car, pretty much.

I bet you thought I was talking about a motorcycle, innit?

Maybe all you Europeans have a different system, but at least here in the US that angled top bar means it was intended for the fairer sex. So in other more mature words....


















TAM RIDES A GIRL'S BIKE! TAM RIDES A GIRL'S BIKE!

FYI, the seat has a short front, another sign that its a girly bike.

But have you ever tried to hold on to your groceries that you have on the back-thingy, and then break and get off a bike with a top bar? It's impossible. No way I'm ever gonna buy a guy-bike. They're just way too impractical.

......but at least i ride a bike :werd:


oh, and i mainly got this bike because i'm teaching my girl to ride a bike (she's american, so she never rode one before), and this bike is much better than the other crappy one that i have. So thats another reason why i bought a girl bike

Hmmm... I assume you mean the trunk right?:D Must be a translation problem silly non-native English speaker:D And I don't have a roll cage built into my car so I have very little problem in tripping over any bars when getting out.

I was wondering if that was a BSA, the reflection makes it hard to tell.

Some of my oldest memories of motorcycles were of my dads old BSA, very cool:D

Things are sure odd looking across the pond:D
