I'm spending WAY too much money recently. But for some reason i keep convincing myself that I NEED it..... so it doesn't *really* count as spending xP Tho I have cut down on food this week. So my current obsession are bikes:


See? I really do need one! I go to lab later and later without it. I've been bike free probably a year by now! And I keep going to things late xD But yeah, I considered getting a used one, but they're so ugly and old..... and may not work. Also I'm super paranoid about other ppl's germs so.

Aren't those a darling? I couldn't decide what colour tho, the first is mint, the second is burgundy (more red under light). But I'm in love with cruisers..... the shape.... very vintage. Although it only has one speed.....eh, I usually ride one speed anyways xP

Also this wicker basket would look awesome with it
Ahhhhh..... I can see it already! And me making my outfit du jour match the bike..... xP (this is probably my inner hipster speaking)

Recently I realized I like what is known as.....80s music. La Roux is really cool! She reminds me of an European Lady Gaga, but less in your face, more boyish and in general awesome!

*edit* verified fixed gear is indeed what hipsters go for.....however it doesn't appear to have a brake :O This could be a problem..... style vs safety?

That is definitely a hipster bike. HAHA. But bikes are good. I bike every day. So much more efficient and good exercise. I think a bike isn't that extravagant! just go to target or something =P

LOL funny

oh I didn't realize you biked.....thought your neighbourhood wasn't safe at night?

Yeah! these bikes are from walmart.....only $75! I think I'm gonna get the mint green one! :)

Biking is better than walking sometimes... or waiting at bus stops when no-ones there? Or it's just faster =D.

$75 is really good! I would also vote for mint green too. (Although I am disturbed by the one speed nature. Well, my bike used to be 21-speed, but i broke the 7-speed side, so now it's essentially 3 speed. haha
