Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Wow, that's wonderful. And good he gave it to you early, as you have more time to ride it. So is it a single speed one? Around here you'd need a ten speed or similar due to all the hills, but since the beach is flat....

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Know the area well. Born in Long Beach, went to some college in Bakersfield, had dorm mates from Tehachapi, Lancaster, Mojave, Bishop, Lone Pine, Taft, Wasco, Buttonwillow, and all sorts of other " interesting " places in desert and valley. Also grew up in Phoenix, and love desert (which we have in Boise), but wouldn't want to live in Phoenix any more. I've had lots of ear and balance problems for my whole life, so don't do bikes. Just feet. But that's fine with me. dan " Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 My wife got an iPod for Christmas (from me), new little shuffle. She never thought she wanted one....but now wouldn't go walking without it. Just load some of your favorite songs on it for next time you exercise. dan " Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 OMG Dan, that is amazing...I grew up in Bakersfield. Did you go to BC or the University? What years were you there? I was 4 when we moved there in 1972, I lived there until the age of 14, so around 1982 moved to Texas to live with Dad.. I went to 9 different elementary schools (mom liked to move ALOT!) My brother is still there and is the graphic artist for Bolthouse Farms (largest carrot distributor in the world) Go buy carrots at the store and see where they come from....BAKERSFIELD! That and Buck Owens are their only claims to fame. Misty > >> > >> Wow, that's wonderful. And good he gave it to you early, as you > >have more time to ride it. > >> > >> So is it a single speed one?
