I found my trusty steed a new home...I'm sad to part with it but really-why let it collect dust in my basement if there is someone else out there who can enjoy it (I'm too attached to my 'stuff'; must try not to be). Better to just save a picture to remind me of my 13 year relationship ;)
I also had to take a picture as I found this to be an ironic occasion; I've wanted a bike rack since I got Missy-car 6 years ago and I only just got one. Today was the first, last, and only time I will transport my trusty steed with it :(
[ok ok I do have a new bike to use my bike rack with, but it's not the same - this was the "first" bike - like your first car. The bike I learned to drop off things on, the bike I rode "epic" rides to tomato creek and back on in high school, the bike I my first spd's were on, the bike on which I tried to keep up with all the boys on, the bike I attached jingle bells to and drove T nuts with all my jingling on that winter ride, the bike I endo'd on, etc etc...
You see...the new bike is just not the same.
Yet...]
