After having suddenly gotten over my irrational yet long-lived fear of BICYCLES, a couple weeks ago I went to the Hub and found me (with much help) a pretty burgundy-colored road bike. I just got a call the other day saying it's all fixed up and ready to go, and I'll finally have time to pick it up today! Yay!
Now I can (clumsily) bike all around town. Whopee!
