Wow, it's been a crazy week looking for the right bike for myself. Luckily, I was able to get some advice from fellow riders....
So, all week I searched online for bikes.... Russ (from AIDS Lifecycle) was great by sending me links to some bikes... I saw them and i feel in love with them.. I JUST WANNA START!!!
I was supposed to check out two bikes today.. One guy was VERY PUSHY--- bike was nice, but it didn't fit me.... i was excited about seeing the second bike.. but the guy cancels...
My friend Scott has been pivotal in my participation in the AIDS Cycle..... So instead he took me to some shops to look at bikes...
We went to I-Martinsin the Westside of LA.. Let me say that the staff there was great (Scott told me how they would be, and they came thru)..
Jay was our salesman-- he showed me a few bikes but I was interested in seeing the bike that the guy that cancelled on looked like... It was a Giant OCR 2-- it was cute... but the fit wasnt for me...
Then he showed me the Trek 2007 model.. WOW, it was beautiful... I got on it, and i fit just perfect...... I was debating.. do i just buy it? can i afford it? is it worth it????
Shit, what the hell, this is my first bike.. i wanna make it ALL MINE-- So i got it!! well.. i am ghetto, i put it on lay-a-way.. LOL.. Who would have known they had that... So i am stoked!!! I cant wait to go get it and finally RIDE......
The rest of the day, i just hung out with Scott... and he shared his experiences with the AIDS Cycle....
All i gotta say-- I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!
Shopping around for my bike
Wow, who would have thought buying the right bike for you was difficult. Hey! I LOVE to shop, but I guess for things that I have more knowledge of-- like clothes, gadgets, music..... But at same time, it's sorta fun. I've seen a few bikes online.. One really attracts me, except for the price. Who would have known that bikes were expensive? Well, maybe just me-- I've lived under a rock. Anyhow, I have some appointments to check some out.. I guess i better start calling my friends so they can help me out.....
