My GF and I had an errand to run at Bed, Bath & Beyond (a store with stuff like comforters, kitchen appliances, and the like).

How could I have imagined that I'd return with N+2? It's not a bike store! But here they are, already hanging in my living room.

Don't take up too much space, either. They both need a tuneup, but that's to be expected. :)

The seat on the top one looks like it might be a bit uncomfortable!

My first impression was to rearrange the second bike to make it into a recumbent and then it struck me.

I'm shocked!

I'm in awe.

They are not white!!!! :eek:

It's probably a CF bike and that's the suspension :lol:

Gary,good to see you with a steady squeeze but I hope the wall art is not your current extent of cycling.

Well, I was living with my GF for the past year, and we nearly broke up recently, but then, after a series of long, candid and brutally honest talks, realized the real problem wasn't between us, but trying to live together in a small house when we both worked from home. So, we were together 7/24 and it was just too difficult.

So...we moved out and into two separate homes, which, by coincidence, are only three blocks apart. We are both much happier with the new arrangement, and in terms of our relationship, couldn't be better. We simply needed to slow down, and get more living space.

Wow, did they fit on the bike rack ok?? Lucky you had the rack with you. Looks like the second one might need pedals, nice find though.

Geez, BB&B is now competing with Walmart by selling entry level low end bicycles. What's next, Office Max selling Messenger Bikes?
