Bikes!

John and I have been talking about buying some bicycles for quite a while. The problem was that John is 6'8 and those cheap Wal-mart bikes don't fit him very well. So we decided to save up some money and buy ourselves some quality bikes.

John did some shopping around and decided to best place was Two Wheeler Dealer right here in Sioux Falls. Yesterday after work John and I headed to Two Wheeler Dealer to do some shopping. We had an excellent salesman, Aaron, help us. He explained all the bikes to us such as what the different features were and in what situations we would prefer one bike over the other.

Once we each decided which bike we liked we took them out for a test ride. Aaron helped fit the bikes for us to help us decide which size fit us best and then he let us ride them as long as we wanted to test them out. These bikes can be pretty expensive, but they come with great staff and services. The price includes a 30 day check up and a one year check up in which their staff will fix any problems they find and just do general maintenance.

John and I both found bikes we really liked, so we bought them and then headed to the bike trail. It was a gorgeous evening for a bike ride and we really love our new bikes. We now have another activity to keep us busy on the weekends and evenings, and for a bonus feature, it's healthy! Next we need to get a bike rack for the Trailblazer so we can bring the bikes to different bike trails and campgrounds.

Here is a picture of my new bike (and you get to see my awesome self-timer photography skills! ha!)
