After determining that Minty simply wasn't going to be able to keep up with my biking needs I started scouring Craigslist for a cruiser with gears. My friend Jessica mentioned that she loved Electra cruisers and after checking out the site I realized I had to find an Electra. I was checking the site every day looking for new ads, and an amazing Electra Coaster 7d showed up screaming my name. Even though I wasn't nuts about the color, the beautiful style and 7 speeds were demanding I buy it. In addition to the awesome price....
I immediately emailed the seller and made arrangements to go check out the bike. I managed to pick up the kids and drive 30 miles south within an hour. If you've ever met my kids you know how epic that feat is. I threw my money at the seller and loaded my new cruiser into the van.
So I went from no bike to two bikes in a week. Just when I had Minty the way I wanted her - a new bike came into my life. A new bike with gears that could be ridden up and down the hills by my house. And now my life was complete. Or was it....
