Modern Wheels

My faithful granny bike (given to me by the outgoing teacher) has been relegated to shopping duty only. I bought a used mountain bike this past week from a friend who is leaving the country. The frame is a bit small for me, but I can live with it. The bike was a bargain at ¥10,000 (about $85). This is my first bike with suspension. After all the bouncing and shaking on the old bucket of bolts, I now feel like I’m riding on air.
