On Buying a Bike

Monday, October 8th, 2007 @ 10:18 am | Arizona, biking

Up here in the lovely mountains of Sierra Vista, biking is huge here. There are two dedicated bike shops for Sierra Vista, both very nice places. If I wanted to buy a used bike, it would only set me back 1100 dollars for the cheapest bike. Anyway, I don’t think so.

Of course the major discount retailers are here in the Vista including Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. I just don’t feel safe riding one of these junky bikes they have for sale. Maybe I’m just old and safety conscious. I’ve taken some nasty spills in my younger days on bikes, that’s the way it was back in the 80’s and 90’s. Never even thought of wearing a helmet. Ahhh, maybe that explains some things…

Is it crazy for me to be bike-averse?

      Maybe if you weren’t riding your bike to Fox Valley… There’s got to be somewhere in Tucson to buy a reasonably priced bike…
