n+1 . . . a second bike!

following the old saying that answers the question "how many bikes does a person need?" with "n+1, where n equals the number of bikes you already have, I finally picked up another ride . . . one Mrs. Free may actually get on the back of more than once a year for an hour.

The newest addition to our family:

07 Vulcan Nomad 1600
29,000km
Mustang Seat
Highway Lights
And a toggle switch that doesn't do anything.

Nice bike! Now, what you do is take Mrs. Free to a large bike dealer, just to walk around. Who knows, she might find something she likes. Mrs. Run seems to like the can-am spyders.

The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

true story . . .

the other day Mrs. Free and I were out for a ride . . . the third one she joined me for on the new bike (up until this year it was a chore to get her out for one ride a year -- a ride that only lasted an hour or two). when we stopped for coffee and were talking about what a great day it was she said "maybe I do need my own bike after all. Naw." I heard the first statement VERY clearly! I'm working on it.

and this morning she said that it's too bad she's going to visit her mother this weekend because the group ride I'm going on tomorrow looks interesting and she'd go on it with me.

there is hope
