A sign??

So last week I decided that I'd start a physical fitness plan in earnest. I pulled out the bike, got a new tube for the flat front tire and headed out. First ride last Sunday was to a friends house 3 miles away, then up and around the 101 on 35th, to the hill on 47th and Beardsley (I made it halfway up), then down 51st to Grovers, and back home. In all, it worked out to about 12 miles. Not a bad ride for the first time out. Nearly got heat stroke because I did it in the middle of the day, but I made it. Hockey on Monday night, rode again on Tuesday and Thursday, about 8 miles each, then went to do another 10+ on Saturday, and it was going fine, until about a mile and a half from home the chain snapped on me. It was a POS Wal-Mart bike my mom bought, but it worked, until then. Then came the joy of walking, with a busted bike, the mile and a half, at 3:00 in the heat and (for Arizona) humidity to get home. So now I'm without pretty much my only form of exercise other than hockey (that's only once a week and the season ends this month with a two month break). I can fix this bike, the back wheel is all bent up from who knows what, the sprocket teeth are chipped and bent, and it never shifted right. So what to do. Fix it, then wait for something else to break. Umm, no. Do nothing and get fat(ter). Get a new bike. That will be the plan I'll do, except, I have expensive taste, not carbon fiber triathlon Lance Armstrong $5000 bike expensive, but something along the lines of a $400 Trek hybrid. Definitely not doing a Huffy. Time to do some research and shopping.
