| I did manage to get this photograph before my bicycle broke. |
Today my heart breaks as my beloved but ugly bicycle suffered a fatal break on my ride. After bending the derailleur beyond repair, I wrapped the chain into the water bottle holder and walked 8.8 miles back to the car. I'm not sure how many joyful miles she has taken me but it is in the thousands. Yes, she is a girls bike and she's too small for me but the ride was comfortable and fun. I was really hoping to keep it as a guest bike for friends coming to visit me in Austin, but that dream is crushed today. RIP my sweet petunia, you'll always be my favorite.
