The new bike has finally arrived complete with bike lock

When I went to collect our Bush Orders cartons, there were two extra cartons at the freight depot.  Yes, they were the new bikes.  No prizes for guessing what I spent the day doing – assembling, testing and setting up the two bikes.  Then I tormented Laura for a while by texting her at school about her new bike, knowing she couldn’t get away to see it for 2 hours

After the girls finished school, Laura, Claire and I rode to the dam, which is about 11km round trip.  We’re happy with the new wheels.  Just trying to forget why we needed new ones, and how much it has drained out of our savings!
