[ So I guess I have to ride home too]

I have just started riding my bike to work. A BIG 6/10 of a mile.
but the last 2/10 is a killer hill for me, at least I thought so.
I did the big no-no and bought a Moongoose at wally mart.
When I tryer to shift down for the hill it went into nuetrol and went to a stop.
so I had to push it up the hill, tryed for 3 days on the 3rd ride home I tryed to up shift
to see how fast I could go down the hill if I pedeled. Coasting I hit the bottom at 17 mph.
The chain broke. I could either push it 3/10 miles home or 3/10 up the hill to my van and take back to Wally and tell him what to do with it. I chouse the latter I put me in the right mood to take it back.
Next day I went to the local bike store and bough a Trek Navigator 50.
I made up that wimppy little hill, I was huffing and puffing but I made it and it is getting easyer each time.
It's been almost 50 years since I 've ridden a bike. But I thike I am going to like it.
Today after I go home I went back out and rode another 1.5 miles, next week who knows.
