My New Ride

After the bike heist of 09 left me without two wheel transportation (lessons should have been learned from the bike heist of 07 but were not), my boyfriend started looking for bikes for us on Craigslist. I assumed he was looking at beach cruisers but he came home with this for me. I was thinking more stroll around town, ride the beach path type of bike, but he says this will be just as fun.
I'm told it is a 12 speed Peugeot P6 road bike made in France. I have no idea what that means but it must mean that I'm somewhat hard core as it is a man's frame.

  1. Love the "new ride" but what is it with males. They don't get the idea of the shop/bike combo. I had to make it very clear that I needed/wanted a "girl bike" for the stroll around town as I love to wear skirts making the "boy" bike a hard fit. However, I have seen many hip chicks in bikes like yours who are able to pull off stylish and cool and am sure you will too.

  2. See, what's great about this bike is that if the aliens ever attack you can throw that bad boy right off the balcony, jump after it, and beat-tread down first st. without worry of any frame damage.

  3. I missed the jab if there was one, but I showed your post to someone else and he thought the joke had to do with it being a steel frame instead of an aluminum or titantium frame? You're not a bike snob are you?

  4. Hey, no jab. That thing's a tank. However, following this up with an eye burrito has got me in a funk.
