Last Sunday (June 14th) was Car-free Vancouver Day, and Nat and I celebrated by buying her a new bike. Actually, I’m really not sure how that happened because we were supposed to be looking for a bike for me. But somehow she lucked out and is now the proud owner of a Roscoe commuter bike by Haro Bikes. I’m really quite envious and have been considering getting one for myself. The aluminum frame keeps the weight down to approximately 30 lbs, which is much lighter than my current bike.
We bought it from the fine folks at the Denman Bike Shop. I was told that they might be a little high-pressure, but really I think the owners are just that excited about bikes, and the store is incredibly busy for such a small spot.
I think we might have to go back there tomorrow to pick up my matching bike.
