the slower you go the more likely you'll crash

i haven't even blogged about a bigger toy (well it's not really a toy) we got last week and D already has a new one >_< we headed to manly today with alex & justin to have a look at scott bikes. one D has been eyeing since those 2 poisoned him into biking. well at least it's a healthy sport, danger is another thing....

at the shop, D test the suspension, took the bike out for a spin.... stopped, discussed it with the boys, took it for another ride, retested the suspension... on and on an on. even i had a go at it, obviously this bike was too big for me but i decided to take a ride anyway. that was phoooarrrrr ... either i'm getting old and overly paranoid that i would fall over or .... hmmm there's not other excuse really. and since i hadn't cycled in a long time, when i wanted to stand the bike, i was looking for a stand like the picture above which apparently no longer come on bikes!! hey, it's been a looooong time since i had a bicycle.

and yes, after all that D came home with a new bike. he was a little worried that it wouldn't fit into the boot and would end up having to buy a bike rack. it only fit if we took out both tyres. so now i'm on my own at home blogging while he's at the carpark with the boys playing with the bike -_-

joined at the butt

D's new hobby at the moment  are bikes. he's been busy researching for a bike of his own but holding off from buying one until our circumstances are better; so he just buys the accessories -_- we checked out this bike shop at fox studios which carried the brand of the bike he wanted. i of course wasn't quite so interested so i was roaming around and i spotted this! maybe i should just add it onto D's bike ^_^ then i can go along to his rides. imagine going off trail sitting behind him..... i'll probably jump off! haha
