new wheels

right on! i picked up my new bike from recycled cycles last night. i love it! it's a raleigh detour 4.5. comes with 21 more gears than my other bicycle and not to mention kick ass pedals, brakes, and a basket.

i rode it to work this morning for the first time and it took me approximately 15 minutes to get downtown. i caught quite a few red lights so hopefully that would shave off a couple of minutes. i'm really happy with my new wheels but still can't decide what i should do with my 3-speed. i love that bicycle. it has so much charm.

cross your fingers for my ride home...that will be fun and funny.
