"More oil on the chain please. Fix the cables and put the rear fender back on. Oh, you should wash me more often too." That is what the Raleigh Gruv 2.0 would say. My reply would be, "Soon all will be done."
The Dahon Smooth Hound would say; "When are you going to ride me? It's been a while." My reply would be, "You'll probably be for sale this summer. Someone else will be riding you this year."

I really like going outside when it rains and even when it snows because when it comes to that, I am the best bicycle ever.
Not that I mind the sunshine either... and if you'd like... I could even pull the trailer when you go shopping later and give the little runt a break.
Seriously dude... you've been ignoring me while you flirt with that Italian girl... and that red bar tape makes her look ******.

It was in three parts. My Bike is French so it would be a bit of a cynic. "Ce n'est pas une montagne." That is not a mountain. Though it should have been a mountain that is not. The second part was the Alps are a mountian. "Les Alpes sont des montagnes" then the cycinical statement. "qui est juste une colline." That is just a hill. I did 3600 feet for lunch with friends Thursday and was thinking of what my bike would say whenever I started to question my decission to do it.
