I have to pick my bike up tomorrow because the store is 30 minutes shy of closing and the bicycle technician went home already. I went with the blue Diamondback bicycle. I'm excited to start biking around the lake with my fiancé. After we pick my bike up tomorrow, we will be going to shop for some helmets! Safe is always number one priority! Now off to Trader Joe's! To get more smoked salmon.

Oh, that would be so nice - to be biking around with your lovey. It's actually a healthy and romantic way of bonding.

Yes - we have been planning it for awhile and why not take advantage of the lake nearby? They charge $10 a hour to rent a bike or $20 for the entire day each. We mind as well buy our own bike that is strictly ours and not ridden by other people!

@infatuatedbby Indeed, when you always rent a bike each day, then you must buy your own already. In the long run, it will be cheaper.

@SIMPLYD Yes, it definitely is cheaper. We have went for 3 days straight and for more than a hour each. That would easily cost $40 per day x 3 = $120! We did pay a little over $500 for both bikes, helmets and bike rack but we plan to go biking on a daily basis for at least 5-10 miles each day so it will be worth it.

@minx267 I would love a pink and white one. They have purple but the blue bike had better reviews.

A helmet is a necessity. Nice bike! Looks like you got a hybrid, also known as a comfort bike. Nice choice.

Yes ! I already have a helmet. My fiancé got a new Bell helmet. Thank you! The shocks were useful in the seats when going over bumps!

@infatuatedbby - Oh, it has a suspension post? I had one on one of my old bikes. I liked it so much I bought another one for my road bike.

Enjoy your bike. I used to love to ride my bike around my favorite lake too and I used to ride my bikes lots of places. I felt freedom riding it.
