I guess for now I will work with what I have and maybe this book will help me learn how to buy the right bike. It also apparently teaches you how to do basic repairs. I have no idea how to work on bikes so this will also be good.
I also see another book, bike repair for dummies. I think I'll wait on that but I'm bookmarking it for later. Let's see what these books have first. Yep. Comfort bike. I like the sound of that a lot.
I want one.
But in all seriousness, I need to be doing some of this --->
