I have one just like that...cracked with a weed in the middle. I meant the driveway. Just joking, but its the truth.
Enjoy the bike. Pretty soon you'll be wanted skinnier tires, clipless pedals, lights for night riding, new clothes, extra parts, cassettes, etc. There is really no end to it.
Remember this rule. If anyone asks, the bike cost $299. All bikes cost $299 if anyone outside of the cult inquires. Tandems cost $499.
