BIKE POWER!

I have a bike!!!!!!!

I saw a flyer at uni today advertising a place called Bike Fit nearby campus that collects donated bikes, sells bikes at cheap rates, and fixes bikes, it had an address on the flyer so after my last class I google mapped it and walked up there. It is operated out of a charity and I walked in, picked out a bike for £40 and a lock for £10, ran back to Hillhead to grab cash I had in my room and grab my friend Hege, ran back to the place all within 45 minutes, she picked one out, we paid, and tada! we have mobility! I am going to find a helmet at a standard bike shop tomorrow.

I am so incredibly happy that I finally have a bike. It is too bad I could not have found one sooner, but this place opened within the last week, I believe, and no where else had cheap enough bikes besides the university workshop, which never had a bike available to rent when I went in there.

Bikes here have the back break on the left handlebar not the right. Probably related to the fact that they drive on the wrong side of the road. Weirdos.

I am so thrilled!!!!!
