good-bye old friend

i found trashbike, as you guess, in the trash

my neighbor was cleaning out his garage

and decided he wasn't going to ride it anymore

so he put it in the trash

i had been mountain biking once before and hated it

i was on a loner from a friend that didn't fit me

i was about 250 pounds of lazy, smoking man

it wasn't fun

so when i found trashbike and i was in much better shape

i thought i might retry this mountain biking thing

it had no seat, no grips, and the rear wheel was bent

so bad that i took off the rear brakes for the first few rides

so I fixed up and really fell in love with biking

to trashbike i owe, to degree, my health

some really good friendships

and a lot of fun times

but from the beginning i new i'd want a new frame

and a few weeks ago i bought one and built it up yesterday

let the next adventure begin
