I met up with Mike again and we grabbed a snack bark. then, went next door to ride brooklyn
They greeted me and were able to point out this
, no personal pic. i forgot :/ ); They lent me a helmet to cruise around the neighborhood and on the busy-busy street in the bike lane, down hill,,,,,
side noteL Schwinn is the bike of my youth memories. Getting bikes from police auctions*. (Recovered but not claimed, i guess. Maybe confiscated from drug dealers.. lol... ) so this one is around 350 and a single speed. I felt the lack of gear going up the slope back to the store.
Oh- I did capture a helmet to consider
. (See? 
the price of safety!) Not the helmet i borrowed, btw. That one was bulky and left my over-sensitive head heated.
Being that i was within walking distance of home, I walked back, making an independent stop at brooklyn bike and board; (it seems like someone forgot to pay their webpage bill!);Again, I was ignored, despite staff not being preoccupied with other customers. And, Again, nothing out that was particularly tempting to try out. I did grab the free bicycle routes of nyc map though.
which leaves me still meh. Spend a lot for a great bike? or spend a little on an ok bike
i know i'm behind, this one has been sitting needing a clean up.
