Bikes are like shoes

[KkAllez]

I figured out that bikes are like my shoes:

I need a good pair of hiking boots. .. I need a good mudding bike aka mountain bike

I need a good pair of running shoes... I love my fast, road bike.

I need a pair of Saturday shoes, the kind that I hang around the house in or paint in or head to K-Mart in (to get more paint). .. I need a hybrid.

This is for anyone who asks, which type of bike should I get? I query back, "Where are ya going at the moment?" Get all three!

Right now I am up one and down two. Have been test riding mountain bikes at my local bike shop. There is a sweet Bontrager (I can't even pronounce THAT) that some girl ordered and never came in for that I can get at a really good buy. Then there is an awesome Harro (did I spell that right?) at triple the cost of the Bontrager.

OOOHHHH...then there are those beachy looking bikes. Reminescent of what I rode when I was a kid in the 70's. Ape hanger handle bars. All they need are banana seats and sissy bars and I'm there! My only problem is that no matter which direction I leave the house from I climb a steep hill and these bikes are strictly flat land cruising at slow speed beauties.

Hey! How many of you here remember the sissy bars, banana seats, and ape hanger handle bars? The ones that had tassels on the ends of the handle bars were especially cool.

I've got a picture of me on my bike with the banana seat and high handle bars. I am standing on the seat with one leg straight out behind me, kinda a ballet move on a bike. If I can dig up it or get my mom to email it to, and figure out how to post it, I'll post it here.
