20 years = 2 wheels

Because I have worked at the same job for 20 years (does anyone last that long anymore at one spot?) I got to choose whatever I wanted out of the 20-year, "thank you for sticking with us" catalog.

Considering my lack of interest in jewelry or power tools, the choice was easy. What was not easy was the fact that the bike arrived unassembled. But, if there's one thing for sure, it is that Cullen understands how cables and gears and brakes and shifts work, and he even had a helmet (with a blinking light) to throw into the mix.

About one hour later, everything that needed to be attached was attached, the tires were pumped, and I was ready.

Fortunately, if there were a video, it would be dull. No collisions, no crazy dogs, no problems with the brakes when the brakes were important. Now all I need is a basket and I can head out to do the grocery shopping. Maybe...

Nice bike. And I'm impressed that Cullen got you to wear a helmet. I bet the flashing light sold it.
