Bike R Us

Bike R Us… hahahaha…..

Ok, after that ridiculous title, I’d better explain a little.  You guys know how much I love my bicycles right, so a couple of months back I got crazy on the notion that I would like to try out some other cycling experience other than just riding around on my road bike, (which actually always makes me feel pressured to ride faster)… so I kind of considered my other options… mountain bike, folding bike?  Or even perhaps a hybrid?

Sure why not?  Just walk into a shop and get one of these.  but, then again, it was just too easy.  Thanks to Mr Brain up here, I got injected with the idea that if I wanted to ride it, I should build it… what a joke right?!Smile with tongue out

Well, but along with that idea, I suddenly received “instructions” in my head, again thanks to my silly brain, about how I could do it all… Go to a bike mechanic, have a custom bike frame welded together, look for the parts in the second hand collection, actually more like a junkyard with hidden gems, then put it together and make sure we end up with a bike that doesn’t fall apart…

So, thoughts were put into action and I got into it… Smile with tongue out

Yup, I’d title the whole idea a hobby rather than being about the final bike.  Cause that’s how it all became.  Suddenly I had all these ideas about customising, building bikes, having a bike cafe where you can sit while watching in humour, me putting your bike together while praying at the same time… lol.  Strike off that last thought, the whole idea is already weird enough.

Oh well, so it really did happen, to have a bike custom made and put together…from

Go read about it at my other blog at Spokes ‘n Brew. Smile

I’ll tell you all about my adventures on this bike when I put some mileage into it… if it doesn’t break apart on my first! Smile with tongue out
