I said goodbye to an old friend on Saturday. I was given a bike by a dear friend of mine last winter, a great bike. I knew our time together would be brief.
I helped her pack it in a van and watched it drive away.
An old Peugeot single speed, but definitely a one of a kind. I am sitting here now trying to estimate how many hundreds of miles I put on that bike over the summer. 700? More? I don't know. But it was definitely a hard goodbye to a great commuter. I hope that there are a lot of miles in that bike's future. Sadly, I think it's destined for the indoors.
Meanwhile I am scouring craigslist for a new and similar bike. So far I am coming up empty handed, but the search is on....
