Car shopping on a bike V's Bike shopping in a car

[Wigsie]

I drove a LONG way when looking for my new road bike, being in Kent specialist LBS's are few and far between and around christmas stocks were low in giant sized bikes.

However, I have spent the last 3 days riding round car garages looking for a new car and although I probably won't enjoy the purchase as much its actualy more fun...

I guess the ultimate is cycling round bike shops looking to buy a new bike! Useless bit of info but 3 days into garden leave am getting cabin fever and thought I would share!

How is everyone today?

That's worse than my post about plastic bags on shirt hangers.

I can't do either, so it all sounds like an adventure to me!

I have excercise induced headaches but then again I get Ikea induced headaches too.

with ten or so bike shops within five miles I can spend an entire afternoon looking at cleats.

Yes it is... but I am soooo bored at home doing nothing, whats your excuse?

Yes! I have been in Nissan, Subaru, Renault and BMW with my bike plus a load of smaller independant dealers every time I wheeled the bike in propped against the wall and looked around the cars, got some odd looks but no one complained.
