Yesterday, I went into the LBS for a quick release lever for my daughter's bike seat. Very innocent. Innocent until I turned around and fell in love with an Electra Townie 21 -it was just so cool looking, so retro. When they asked if I wanted to ride it, I told my daughter to hold my purse. Big mistake. I wanted that bike the second I sat on the seat with my feet flat on the ground! That smooth ride led to other smooth rides on other nice bikes. I rode a couple of Raleigh bikes that made me want to ditch my lovely Schwinn - my Schwinn that I was totally happy with just a few hours earlier. And, like the bike shop guy told me, those weren't even top of the line! I had myself convinced that there wouldn't be much difference between my bike and the ones in the bike shop. Now I have bike fever. It's horrible!
Fortunately, my husband also rode new bikes and has the fever too! ;)
