You *CAN* afford two bikes !!!!!!!!
Go to a thrift store or yard sale and pick up a 10.00
80's japanese ten-speed. Put 25.oo in tires and tubes..Viola !
A reliable bike you can beat-up, squirt the gunk off with a hose and
forget about. This leaves you with 715.00 for a good road bike
to enjoy time with your wife with.
