New bike dilemma.

I got my partner, bike nicked couple of weeks ago. Trek 7.3FX, I learnt how to ride, how to enjoy, becoming a part of wind, landscape in London with that. Some says, having 5 years that’s long enough to keep it in London without getting nicked, perhaps that’s right.

I tried so many of them from Evans, Cyclesurgery, Tokyobike etc. All very shiny and good. But still none of them doesn’t feel right. Without having a bike, long walk seem to be pointless… I become less active, which is not healthy at all.

The solution is getting a second hand bike, cheaper, less emotionally attached when it gets nicked. Safer choice… But I cannot stop thinking that it might be someone else’s lost bike too.
