My Bike got stolen… again. I guess I deserved it. You see, last May, I rode my bike to work, locked it up outside and left it there for almost a year. Outside, alone, vulnerable.

I’ve been missing it the last couple of weeks so I decide to get off my ass, pick up my bike, get it tuned up and start riding again. I went to get it then there it was… gone! I’ll miss that bike. We rode over 2 thousand kilometers together including a nice ride to St. Catherine’s on a fine Saturday in 2001.

I realized that this was a terrific opportunity to buy a new bike. My old one was good but it was rickety and had some issues. I got very excited about having a shiny new bike. I spent Saturday afternoon researching and dreaming. So, earlier this afternoon, I became the proud owner of a Trek 6000 (see pic). I went for a ride today and holy crap am I ever out of shape. Hopefully the shiny new bike will get me excited enough to ride a lot this summer. I’m looking forward to it.

I’ve decided to post my rides on the net. Click here to see my biking log.
