Bah. The bike that broke was my new one - but it recieved some heavy damage after an accident I occurred when a car cut me off. It broke multiple spokes to the point where I have to save up and replace the wheel, and possibly have to pay one of the bike shops around here for the service. >=/
But, don't get me wrong. I love to ride. Even this bike - which takes a bit more effort than my old bike to go up hills - is a lot of fun to ride. It also helps that I'm strong, but that partially comes with being a "big guy."
So you think the Hybrid commute is a good way to cut down costs?
And my main concern for keeping the car is for work. I'm trying to land a job at Walmart (ugh), and I doubt they want a sweaty employee. <_<;
