You know, I asked this question just to have a little fun. But really, when I stop to think about it, it's hard to believe it's been three years since I brought Ruby home. She's been good to me - loyal, steadfast, and very low maintenance. I've replaced a wheel, a few tires, obviously some tubes, and that's been about it. Of course three years isn't very long for a quality bike, but it doesn't seem possible that three years have already come and gone. It was kind of cool to have a brand new, shiny bicycle back in 2007. There's really no reason to replace Ruby, but I do miss that "new bike" feeling. Having not replaced my car, a 2000 Avalon, yet, I know I substituted the bike to get that new car feeling. It's been a while since my car had that new car smell.
