Jeff Mapes said it best in his book Pedaling Revolution, "The bike offers a non-polluting, non-congesting, physically active form of transportation in a country, and in a world, that increasingly seems to need such options.... Our increasingly sedentary lifestyle raises the specter of an obesity epidemic that could shorten the life span of the next generation."

New bikes
After taking the Schwinn back home I got a mongoose bmx bike off of Craigslist. It's a great beginner bmx bike and is nearly indestructible. On Tuesday, though, I bought a Haro from a friend. It's gorgeous. When looking for a bike, try to find it used. It's a lot cheaper and you can usually find some good deals. My Haro, for example, was $350 new and was only ridden 4 times but I got it for $100. Ask your friend if they know anyone selling a bike or check Craigslist. However, don't be suckered into buying a broken bike in the hopes of fixing it up. Make sure it's worth the price.
