Commuting through town just became easier
After 3 days of walking in to town and then back out again plus with my morning run my body was really sore and so i started looking for a bike. The studentbo (the organization that set me up with my housing) helped me out by showing me where a second hand store that sold bicycles was. I was able to get a 10 speed for less than 50 dollars. I had to do some adjusting to make the seat more comfortable though.
It is making the trek into town much more enjoyable...I might even venture to the island one of these days...I was procrastinating without the bike because the walk is so drastically long, I did not think I would make it home.
Sorry Ryan...not a mountain bike, this was the only option in that it fit me. The rest were too small. But already I have had problems with it-- for example yesterday on my ride to school the pedal fell off. But I have made friends with the owner of a local bike shop...well I don't know if 'friends' is the appropriate term...when he sees me come in he immediately goes to the back of the shop and pulls out his tools (he knows I am having problems). I have offered to do the labour and just borrow his tools but he ignores my request and does it for me....
...I think that one of these days I am going to have to go and buy a shirt from him.

I hope that 10 speed has knobby tires and full suspension! You gotta go tear up the off road trails, and maybe ride down a mountain. Remember the tactics I showed you, and hold on tight!
Your pictures of statues remind me of the Vigeland Park in Oslo, Norway (http://go.to/Vigeland/)

Thank you for showing me your web site!! Now I want to create a web site and post the pictures from the BBQ evening, so I can share them with everyone in the class!
PS. Don't eat the red mushrooms (flugsvampar)-they are poisonous. But there are other nice edible mushrooms you musn't miss!
