I like to ride my bike, all around, I like to ride my bike, all over town*
I bought me a bike at WalMart for $53.00! I love it..her name is "Louise." She's a sweet ride. Okay, so she weighs like 40 pounds. She's a good bike and will serve me nicely as I get some exercise and see the country and save on gas in the meantime.
I remember the day I learned to ride a bicycle. I lived in Macclenny, Florida. I can still hear the screams, "keep pedaling, keep pedaling" as the clothes on the clothesline hit me in the face but allowed me clearance without a crash.
Now I have a planner, new sheets and a bike...what more do I need?

Eh, don't get too bent on the weight of the bike. I've spent a lot of money shaving a pound or two off from my bike - meanwhile, I'm carrying around an extra thirty on my body.
Ride like the wind. Or, as I've learned in Abilene, "Ride IN the wind."

My brother in law has a new $6,000 bike that weighs 14.6 pounds (it's a Bianchi Scott!!) and he doesn't ride it.
You have a 40 pound bike that you got for $53.00 and you ride it all the time.
Which is the better bike???

since scott has taken over your comment section, i'm going to hijack your titling and next time you post about your cycling, i'd like a little "i want to ride my bicycle, i want to ride my bike" from queen. ;)
