Get on that thing and ride it like you stole it....

Sweeeeeet!

Ogedei · 04-12-2005, 09:37 AM

YEAH I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Looks like I'll be getting the green and grey model, which I don't hate, simply based on me being an impatient SOB who wants his damn bike!

Work is a 7km commute one way, as the bird flys, so be a few more by the time I secure a safe route!

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OFF THE BUS!

Go OG....I am now commuting at least once or twice a week.

Some great information here: http://forums.roadbikereview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=76

I am planning on commuting most of the time. It is..
A) Better for me
B) Cheaper
C) More free
D) NOT THE BUS!

What was the comment? oh yeah....

Like a fat kid on cake!

Commuting via bike is great. You: a) leave whenever you want, b) come home whenever you want, and c) know how long it's going to take to get there. Unlike taking the bus. Make sure you get yourself some good lights, front & back!

Excellent! And congratulations on the bike.

Ogedei · 04-20-2005, 12:20 PM

Should be anyday now, so excited....

Just like xmas, only I have to pay for it.

But as they say. It's the thought that counts!

You can't name it until you ride it. It will talk to you and tell you it's name.

FishrCutB8 · 04-22-2005, 09:45 AM

I was thinking Fish would be a good name....

FishrCutB8 · 04-22-2005, 09:46 AM

Funny story--mine was named Feivel before I got it, because it came from clear across the country. For a week, it was "Somewhere, out there"...

It doesn't have a name now, but perhaps it should...

ODB · 04-22-2005, 09:53 AM

I've never named mine. She's too aloof for a name. I have talked to her and thanked her a lot near the end of a race! For all I've put her through she has always proven that our placement in a race has more to do with me than her.

Ogedei · 04-22-2005, 01:34 PM

Well no name currently, we'll see if she speaks to me once I give her a good riding.

I have decided to delay the p/u by a few hours tonight in favor of dumping all my heavy stuff at home and being able to take a less direct way home and enjoy the ride without a 30lb pack! It is the first ride in quite sometime after all.
