Bought myself a new bike yesterday. I said, "f_ck it. I'm not waiting forever for my bike to get fixed." The shipping of the bike from the warehouse is a bit delayed because many people are buying bikes (due to corona), so it's coming 1 week after my birthday. Hopefully I get it then, but of course the shop has to build it first, so who knows. But I did some research and apparently because bike shops are so used to maintaining/fixing bikes, they can build one in 20 mins, so it seems like they can turn it around quickly for me.
I did bring my current bike into the shop to get tuned up, so they're gonna do that for me. Should be a piece of cake. It'll just take a while to get back. However, it's no big deal. My mom wants to ride the bike, so I'm just going to give it to her as a late Mother's Day gift (when it's done). I could fit two bikes in my apartment, but my mom needs a new bike, so why not? It's a nice bike anyways.
The color of the bike is orange, which is not ideal, but all 95% of bikes in this country are all sold out, so it is what it is. Orange is one of my favorite colors, but I'm not sure how I feel about orange on a bike. Oh well. At least I'll be seen? lol. It's just a bike anyways, so whatever. Better than Mantis Green (which is really gross looking IMO).
Anyway, off to work. I hope everyone has a good day.
