Hi everybody,

I have both sad and happy news. First the sad, my bike of 3 years has finally gone to bike heaven. The wheels were shaking, the chains were rusted, and the gears were misaligned. Though the bike itself was too small for me and the tires always punctured, I felt bonded to it. So I decided to buy a new bicycle. But I wasn't going to buy just any bike. If I was going to pay an arm and a leg for one, then I would get one that fit me. They are so expensive here in Japan. Even grandma bikes will run you upwards of 10,000 yen. So I went to my local bicycle shop. They specialize in Cannondale bicycles. I use to ride one of these when I was younger. I decided to order an XL mountain bike with 29 inch wheels! It arrives on Friday. Finally a bike that is befitting of my size.
