I'd LOVE to make it into something to do because I absolutely loved riding bikes for 6 months straight when we didn't have a car.<br /><br />Probably not near me, but maybe in Palisade. We should DEFINITELY do this one day in the near future (even if its way later on in this year). How much did your Carbon Cannondale cost you? Just wanting to know so I can save up to do this! It would be sooooo much fun. :]Beaute Sombrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01169080252853857340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-25404308167703719882013-03-12T13:02:32.377-06:002013-03-12T13:02:32.377-06:00I hear ya.

I totally get the investment in health. I've said that about many things in my life and heck I said that about my bike.

I wish I could say that my Cannondale was cheap, but it was not. When I bought the Huffy that was my budget and seemed "high" at the time. For what I want to do, like climb the Rocky Mountains, I could never use a Huffy. I had to buy " a big girl bike " with a " big price tag ". LOL We look at is an investment in our health and it's one of our only hobbies. So it's worth it in the end.<br /><br />Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125093150749941236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-37615047170725784742013-03-12T12:45:00.930-06:002013-03-12T12:45:00.930-06:00Thanks Karen.

I used to say that about other things, like a "big girl" job and whatnot. I also love that you stayed cheap with the bike. My bike is also around $100 buck, possibly less- it's been a while, in what I paid. I just wanted something that does the job and that it does. So it's a bit banged up but it gets me from A to B. <br /><br />I agree with the above commenter. I love all of your photos and that you found a passion with biking. When I was on Facebook I had a photo album called "Adventures with Biking" where I take pictures along the way, to show people how biking really lets you stop and smell the roses per se and see things from a different view that being in a car never will. Most people didn't seem to care for those photos but whatever, they made me happy. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452723450949689540.post-63524124773600750132013-03-12T05:38:05.445-06:002013-03-12T05:38:05.445-06:00Thanks G!
