Last fri i got my beautiful new bike. I got a Giant CRX4.... a flat bar road bike. I was sooooo nervous about the "skinny" tyres after my hybridspent the whole day saying to DH "maybe i should ring and get them to put wider tyres on". He just patiently told me i'd be fine. eep eep... i was so scared.
Well i got her late fri arvo...after a hectic week with midterm reviews and coming down with the flu. Even though i was sick Sat i insisted on going for a ride with friendsDH was kinda resigned... but i said "wouldnt you want to ride her".
and omg... she is beautiful. She rolls beautifully and i was fine on skinny tyres. I am so in love with this bike! Then i got even sicker after the rideand havent been able to ride since. Have been off with the flu and doing a course which also involved nightly homework, so she's been waiting patiently in the garage (i would prefer she was in the living room
but you cant have everything).
Cant wait to go riding again tomorrow now that i'm no longer dying with this dreaded bug. Just wanted to share a piccie of her (with me) cos i know all you girls totally understand my obsessionIsnt she beauuuuuuuutiful?
