My mom said; You're going to want a bike, a good one so it lasts longer. You'll want a specialized so you can ride on the road and the trails. You want one with lights and mirrors. She said you want to save a few hundred dollars. My mom said; if you're going to have a bike you're going to have to take care of it. Don't let the frame or chain get muddy, they'll rust. You have to do touch ups and keep it dry. That's just part of owning a bike. She said she found a deal I'd love. Said she'd drive me there. Said I need to shop for helmets. Said I need to buy a rack. Said before summer's over I need to get shots, go to the dentist, visit grandma, write thank you letters, pack my clothes, and buy a bike.
