The Machine


Hello!!!! hello hello hello hello.

Hmmm. There's an echo in here. Maybe we gotta fill this place up with more stuff, huh?

Anyway. Pictured below is my new bike. Well, not so new now - it's 3 months old already. But it is my baby and it's been stuck in the garage for far too much of the time recently.

Today, it was out and on the road. 46 degrees of temperature is just enough to get me started. Having ridden, I thought it might be nice to pose my ride on the grass next to the driveway, and take pictures.



That's not the driveway in the background - that's the street. You can't see the driveway. A point of clarification.

The bicycle is a Schwinn World 24 Commuter. Trigger shifters, carrier on the back, and the panniers were added after purchase. I plan on organizing rides, so I need the panniers in order to keep tools, first aid supplies and repair stuff handy as we ride.

It is VERY comfortable to ride, but I am going to replace the seat with a noseless saddle.

Ain't she purdy?
