First and foremost, I blame all of you. :) The idea of a stable of bikes would never have occurred to me without all of you!
I wanted to get a bike that I could ride on some places around here and around Pittsburgh where it would be a bit foolish to ride my road bike. But mostly, I wanted to be able to ride over to the grocery store/Target/Michael's which is a mile away and where I seem to go 3-4 times a week. What a waste of gas. I figured it would be much better for the environment, not to mention tubby me, if I rode a bike for those trips where I need to go, but I'm not buying 10 bags of things. I test rode 4 bikes on Thursday, went back today and rode the one I liked the most. This prompted the folks at the bike store to laugh, as apparently they were discussing which one I was most likely to buy. I didn't disappoint them. It's a Kona Dew Plus. My niece and I joked that I really got it because it is kind of named after my favorite drink. :)
