It's good, but it's sad.

We advertised our Giant hybrids in the paper over the weekend. The ad ended on Sunday and it's Tuesday and no one had called.

Then I got "the call" today. They came right over to see them and immediately bought both mine and DH's bikes! I think they got new great owners. It was amazing when they walked up. She was my size and he was DH's size. What luck!

We love our new road bikes, but I was still sad to see them go.

How nice that the two bikes will be in a new home together! So romantic!

[sandra]

hey, Lisa, YES, thanks! I had not thought of that! At least they got to be together.

The woman i bought my Mariposa from (who is now a friend and riding bud) said getting rid of it was like saying goodbye to an old lover

[sandra]

Whew. I don't know. I was relieved to be rid of my old lovers. I guess I'm sort of relieved that they sold too.

Let's all raise our glasses to the hybrids that got us started. I've hung on to mine for friends who are curious about riding, rather like a trusty old horse who can be trusted with most inexperienced rider. Though actually, I just took my hybrid out on Saturday to coach a brand new rider on a bike path. I was gonna go as slow as possible, and clipping in would've been silly. So I'll keep ol' Cypress in the barn, she doesn't eat much.
