Bicycles and Some Beckett

I am going to go shop for a bike today. I have no idea what kind of bike I am going to get, but I am sure that it will come clear to me soon. Mountainbike? Road bike, Hybrid Bike? Who knows... Maybe I should get a motorbike so that I do not have to actually pedal anywhere.

Oh and where would we be without a little Samuel Beckett to start the day?

"Lemuel is in charge, he raises his hatchet on which the blood will never dry, but not to hit anyone, he will not hit anyone, he will not hit anyone any more, he will not touch anyone any more, either with it or with it or with

or with it or with his hammer or with his stick or with his fist or in thought in dream I mean never he will never

or with his pencil or with is stick or

or light light I mean

never there he will never

never anything

there

any more."

No wasn't that enlightening? Now I must go shop for bike. But I can't shop for bike. But they said I must shop for a bike. I will shop.

The purchase of a bike is not to be trifled with. Where exactly are you going to ride it? Urban commute? Off-road assault? Beach cruising?

Probably Urban Assault and some offroad. I have been thinking about doing single track out in the catskills and maybe even Vermont. I think i have narrowed my selections down to the Gary Fisher Sugar or the Cannondale Jekyll. Time will tell, I guess. I am going to test ride today.

If you are going to get a bike talk to people who know about bikes first, you don't want to buy a road bike when you'll be out mountain biking, and you don't want to get a cheap bike that will fall apart the first year.
