I got my new bike yesterday. 
I haven't bought a brand new bike since I was like 13. (I'm 38) I went from my old beater, to my new hotness. 
It rides smooth as glass, and is as quick as the wind. It's a 27 speed "Urban hybrid". Part mountain bike, part road bike.
Only shitty thing, I couldn't really afford to get it until next month, but I was impatient, and now I have very little money to live off. (The first thing to go is my meds........or weed.
Thankfully I quit smoking 2 weeks ago this coming Sunday.) I even had to borrow a decent lock from the bike shop, as I refuse to use my cable lock, even if it's a good one by Kryptonite. Cable locks, no matter how good, can still be cut with bolt cutters. The U locks, not so much. My old bike wasn't a looker, and nobody would want to steal it, so it was ok for that, but not this new one.
I plan to make a point of getting out more this summer, but my hermititis has it's own ideas. I just wish I had friends who were into cycling like me. Either they walk/bus, or drive cars. Maybe I'll join the local bike group here.
So who else here cycles more than other means of transportation? (I do not have, nor wish to get a drivers license, dislike walking, and despise riding the bus.)
