Bike Ride!

Weight: 292.8
Mood: Optimistic

I had so much fun today, in such a small amount of time. Side note -- Every time I try to type the word "such" on the keyboard, my first attempt is always the word "suck". It really suchs.

Work was the usual bane of my existence, but after that, I came home, hung out with the wife, and we went downtown to walk around, and I also had my eyes on the bike shop down there. I've been considering getting a mountain bike to use as an exercise tool. And after reading plenty on the internet about buying one, I decided to go in and see what they had. The lady at the store was really nice, helped me find a bike for my needs, fit the seat for my height, and even let me ride it around the block to see how it felt. Man, that ride was fun. I don't think I've ridden a bike once in my adult lifetime, and it was exciting to hop on one and ride around. I rode around the block a couple times, and took enough time for the shop owner to say to my wife "Wow, he must be having fun!" It was. It really was. And a workout too. I got off the bike and my legs felt like rubber.

I ended up walking out of the store bike-less, as I only entered to see what they had available. I want to shop around at a couple of other shops and see what else is out there. I also want to talk my brother into getting one as well so I have a riding buddy.

Yeah. Bike ride.

In other news, I fixed the comment thing to open up a pop up window, so you can leave comments now.
