So today...

In an effort to spend more time with me, John decided our Mother's/Father's day gifts should be two bicycles. Maybe I should re-phrase... two GOOD bicycles. In other words, not vintage. We actually have four bikes already but they are all vintage except one, and that one is actually too small for us to ride comfortably. I took John's vintage Schwinn road bike out on the bike trail for a 28 (?) mile ride and found that when I got home the bike was falling apart! Something had been hitting my feet and calves periodically, but I didn't see anything. Turns out the nuts/bolts/ screws were falling off the bike. I'm lucky I made it back to the truck without having to carry the bike back. Our trek to obtain two bikes lead us to Costco on Rosedale Highway where we had found two bikes we liked last week. Today, however, the women's bikes were gone...sold out. So we drove over to Costco on Panama Lane hoping they would still have at least one in stock. No such luck. Both stores did have the bike John wanted but he didn't want to buy his if I couldn't get one too. After the purpose of buying them is so we can go out on the bike trail together with our kids being towed safely behind us in our Schwinn trailer. Since we didn't find the bikes at Costco we stopped by Action Sports on our way home and were quickly disheartened by their prices. The lowest priced bicycle we found was $350, ON SALE! Needless to say we did not buy from there. Oh well, the search continues.
