The Shortness of my Biking life

Remember how excited I was about the bikes? YAY BIKES? Basically they kind of suck ass. They are cheap and basically worth what I paid for them. First, a spoke on Ben's tire was bent. He traded it in. Then, the brake wouldn't tighten on my bike. Then, he tried to work with his brake to see if he could fix it some other way that he didn't see. Now his brake won't tighten either. He took it into Hutch's, and they said that the brake wire is stripped. BRAND FUCKING NEW, and the brake wire is STRIPPED. $10 later, they informed him he could buy a new brake, it would cost $10 and then $15 to install the brake. And then they said that it basically wasn't worth it, cause we are only going to have more problems (which seems likely, at this point) with them and Walmart bikes aren't really meant to be ridden. Granted, as Karina pointed out, they will be biased. Of course they'd love it if you bought a bike from them, right now. But still, I don't want the bike ...

The whole trip was weird. The bus doesn't run when I thought it did, so instead I had to go a different route. I was there really early, and had to listen to people hack and argue and all this bullshit. They call me back and put me on the scale and I've lost 5 pounds! FIVE WHOLE POUNDS. If I've gained 3 (last time), then I'm 2 down! I know. It seems like I'm being far too excited, but 5 pounds actually sounds like a decent amount. I don't know. I guess it makes me hopeful. The lady was someone who I hadn't seen before, but she was like my cheerleader and just made a HUGE deal out of my losing weight. I walked...
