Wow, that got here fast! Got my new Priority Continuum Onyx.
I’ve barely ridden it yet, but it seems amazing.
Added my fave retro reflective tape on it for style and to deter thievery.
But it will shine shine shine at night.
Going to get a rack put on it and then I’ll have a perfect commuter and arrive without the classic backpack sweat. Too bad I have to go on a work trip this next week and I can’t use it.
Max rides with me on this to school. We got it from some parents who don’t need it anymore and we fixed a flat tire and replaced a stolen seat.
We don’t have a great private place to secure it. It’s all just locked up on the street. One day we came out and one of the handlebar grips was gone. Ah well. People can be jerks. Such is life. No big deal.
We just ride without the grips and make do. “It’s fine!” says Max.
Today we came out to take Max to Brooklyn Game Lab for Dungeons and Dragons club. This is what we found:
Someone bought new handlebar grips and installed them on the bike for Max. Those are good ones, too! Better than what we had by a lot.
We were blown away by this thoughtful kindness!
Maxwell’s reaction was that he wants to learn how to fix things for other people. We have no idea who did this for us. If I figure it out I’m gonna hug the hell out them and thank them so much.
Just wanna share with everyone this feeling.
Cinco de Matto is coming up, and it is a time of celebration for everyone. It can also be a time of anxiety, as many folks agonize over the question: “What can I buy Matt that will ensure his favor for another year?”
You may add to the list of possible items to buy me the best bike in the world.
