Bikes

I love my bike and I can't tell enough people about it.  Seriously, a bike is so much better than a car.

1.  No gas.  I've saved a whole bunch of money because I haven't paid for gas in over a year.

2.  It's fun.  For real.  If you see that smug grin on my face after going through the light before any of the cars, know that it's from a genuine place.  I AM faster than you.  I AM having more fun than you.  My bike is better than your car.

3.  Exercise is always a good thing.

4.  I get down to my music way more than the folks in their cars do.  Seriously, show me a person singing aloud in a busy intersection and doing a jig so publicly.

5.  I get to know the folks at my Local Bike Shop (LBS)

6.  The folks at my LBS (Nate and Jeremy) take good care of my bike as well as me.  Hey Riders Ready in Maumelle, you guys really are the best.  I can walk in and say I have a flat and they can tell me what I need and how to fix it.

7.  Bikes are cheap!  A tire costs about $4 and takes about 10 minutes to replace if you're a newby.  No oil change, no gas.  The checkups cost about $40 and they make sure everything is working properly.
