31 days of cycling

My friend Jason wanted to learn how to play the guitar. He decided that if he practiced every day for one year (on a cheap or borrowed guitar???) he would know he was dedicated to the craft and could justify buying a sweet guitar. He made it, and now he plays well and has a sweet guitar.

Since we moved into our house at Sandee Palisades over two years ago, I have been getting the urge now and then to ride a bike around the neighborhood. Problem; I don't really have a bike.

I have purchased two $10 bikes in this time and have learned that you can't get a bike for $10 unless it has issues. I have in turn sold both of these bikes for $5.

I have decided to start riding with the one bike that is left in the garage. This bike is a huffy mountain bike that I believe was given to my wife by a friend. Judging by the paint, I'd say it is from the mid nineties. Judging by the frame, I'd say it is a woman's bike. It's too small for me and the low gears slip. However, it has tires and I can ride it.

Long story Short, I am going to start riding this bicycle every day until I can justify buying a new bicycle. I don't think I can ride THIS bike every day for a year, but I can start with one month. That is my current goal; to ride at least 4 miles each day for the entire month of August. I am two days in and all is well.

Keep an eye out!
