I've been oogling my road bike since I snapped my clavicle. Just admiring the machine, apppreciating how my body can become part of it, looking forward to getting back in the saddle. I won't just put it away, even though I can't ride it for months. I want to tune it, feel it, remember it, look forward to it.

I really don't admire it as much as when I first got it, but it is still beautiful. It takes me places my car can't go. I had just got done with a 30mile ride leaned it up against the house, went to my car and turned around and it was like "wow" that really is a nice bike (also realized I keep that saddle much higher then the bars, if I had a flat stem I'd be in serious pain.). She often doesn't get the credit it deserves because it isn't a high end full out $5,000+ race bike. But she thinks she is. I felt so bad yesterday I was riding up this steep hill and got caught in a big gear. I shifted down twice and her derailer didn't sound happy about it. And I didn't want to change rings because I may drop the chain. So instead of making her take the hard gear changes I made my legs do the work. Boy did it hurt.

CR 400,
I love my bike it is over 12 years old. I am 21 it has been around for more than half of my life. It was born when I was in elementary school. I got it used from a really nice lady and I was lucky because it is the only bike that fit me of the dozens I tried. I try to take good care of it, but my Tori (that is the name of her) likes it when we ride. The bike is phenomenal. I don't understand why it doesn't break of fall to pieces at this age (knock on wood).
And yeah I agree, I love the places it can take me. I don't have a car so it replaces it. It takes me to my internship in the enxt city over, job interviews, grocery shoppings, the U, and to school. I never thought I would be able to do these things without a car. I am amazed. I love my bike. Staring at it brings to mind a whole new world of oppurtunities.
