New Bicycles!


Ned and I are the proud owners of two "common bicycles" complete with front basket, lock, carrier in back, and bell both for $35 dollars brand new. My bike is bubble gum pink (I will add pictures later) and Ned's is bad boy black. Tom Stone from the school took us by Taxi to the biggest street vendor market I've seen so far in Tongliao. After checking out, riding and inquiring on the price we were both happy with our selections. I have a cruiser, and Ned has more of a mountain biking type. The brand is called, "Forever" because Tom Stone explained this is a bike you can have for your whole life; it is "enough" and easy to fix to last forever! On the way home, Ned and I rode our bikes back and Tom rode on the sitting down on the back carrier of my bike. When we crossed through busy intersections he got off and ran beside me laughing, to hurry, hurry! then he would jump back on once we were through the intersection. It was a fun way to start off the biking experience!
