Bike Shopping

I've had a bike for a while, but since Bob is here now I've once again gone through the excitement and frustration of bicycle acquisition. Our friend Justin had an old, rusty Dutch bike that needed a new inner tube and a little love, so Bob decided to take it on as a project. Turns out it's actually a bit to small for his tall frame, but the inner tube has since been replaced and we're working on a new set to make it into a good, solid guest bike.

After a few outings with the two of us on the same bike (see Riding "Dutch Style"), it was really time to get Bob something solid. We took another trip, this time on foot, to our local bike shop and Bob had the guts to essentially ask for the cheapest bike they had. Enter "The Dolphin." It's green with a little bit of magenta lettering, but it's a men's bike and it's tall enough for Bob. It is in pretty good shape but probably won't attract much attention. Exactly what we want. Since we've started to get the hang of riding tandem on one bike, Bob steadily drove us home. So now we're able to bike side by side, as opposed to sharing a bike.
