Today, I went bike shopping with my dad, You know, just to look at them and see what I can get for what price. We started at Target, saw a bike I liked, but decided to keep looking. Went to Walmart, they seemed to have been hit already, had already anything.
What I noticed at all the places, they were having bike sales.
So then, we went to Dick's Sport Goods.
AND THE FOUND THE BEST BIKE EVER
Its a K2 bike, real super sweet. And get the price
Originally 500 dollars, I got it for 189 BUCKS! I mean, this bike is better than my dad's bike. He was like, dam, this thing totally beats out mine.
So, I don't have it yet, because, well, I brought it, 40 dollars of it. Its on layaway, I pay 40 bucks every 2 weeks. I plan to pay as much as I can, so I'll have it around my birthday, a little after! Nice birthday present to myself, I think!
Me and my dad plan to train to ride in this biking charity run, 150 miles! I'm so looking forward to it!

150 miles?!?! Geeez. Ours is only 164 miles. Oh wait. That's bigger, isn't it? You people are crazy! I'd just do the half-mile run myself, because I'm a weakling with a crappy one-speed.

I hated learning! It took me forever to learn. I could rollerblade before I learned how to ride a bike. Heh heh.

Rollerblading caused me to get a hole above my upper lip and be afraid of heights forever. But now, I've out grown my old pair so if I ever want to rollerblade again, which I don't, I'll have to buy some. I'd pick a bike over rollerblades anyday.
My mom teached me how to ride a bike. We were on the beach, camping and thats where I learned.
