CHEAP BIKE????

Let's just get right to the point. Forget going the cheap route. Forget paying $10.00 for a used bike. Forget driving an hour round trip to get said, used bike. Forget spending more money on $10.00 bike to install training wheels. Forget spending hours trying to get rusted tire off of said, used bike. Forget hours of sweat and dirty fingernails.

Just go spend $50 and get a new bike!!!!!

So, we were trying to be smart. She just needs to learn how to ride a bike, right? Let's just go buy a cheap used one. Once she learns, we'll get her a brand spanking new bike!

I know Paul spent a lot of money making this "cheap" bike rideable today. In fact, he won't even tell me how much money he spent. In his words, "You don't want to know." "It'll just make you mad."

But, must say, Yulia was all smiles when she finally got to hop atop her "cheap" ride....



Did I mention one wheel is purple and the other black????? Did I mention the chain has to be replaced every 30 minutes or so????




Oh well, Yulia's happy with her "new" bike!! Or she was the last time we saw her.....riding into the sunset. We'll let you know when she returns!!!!
