My karma bike, Felt Breed SS CX
I’ve been posting CL finds on the forum, found this but kept it secret and bought it for myself. Fell off the bike the very next day and broke my leg.

Merry Christmas to me! This bike has a story. I was waiting all year for it to go on sale, but somebody whose bike was stolen bought it at half off during the Thanksgiving sale. But then, the police recovered his first bike, and it miraculously came back and I was able to buy it from him after all! I’m not quite finished customizing it — I’m thinking yellow pedals, a collapseable wire basket on the back and maybe a (small) dog basket on the front?

That’s a beautiful bike dcv. So sorry about the broken leg; that’s gotta hurt. Hope it is feeling better. I say play the sympathy card and get as many Xmas/Hannukah gifts you can milk out of the situation.

It’s not unkind to buy a bike you want when you saw it first. You must have been doing something else to cause the broken leg.

Thanks, already all over that.

Probably because I know I’ll do that again on the next CL find i want to keep, so selfish.

I think it is a Kona Humu.

Yep, just your standard no suspension drop bar single speed MTB with a rack and fenders, kickstand and folding grocery basket attachment that’s also suitable for dog carriage.

Tank certified bridge. Canadian bike with American flag.

So hard to focus on work when I just keep ordering bike stuff for myself. Maybe I can try to convince CL sellers to make deliveries…

Darn nice bars I have a set of those myself in white (the aluminum version) waiting to get installed.

Hope you get rid of the silver bar set soon!

We never think about the feelings of our household appliances. They must have dreams and aspirations, but we never notice. This really hit home with me today. The vacuum cleaner looked so lonely. It really bugged me that I never do anything for it, yet it does so much for me and my family. I can’t believe how selfishly I’ve behaved over the years. I cried about this for 10 minutes… then decided to man-up and do the right thing.

I took it for a bike ride. I’ve never seen it so happy.

Taking a vacuum cleaner for a bike is actually quite a bit of work… I got tired in the middle of the ride.

Fortunately there was a couch available for a Bike Power Nap.

The world I live in is a happy place.

Hugs and kisses,

Dirt.

That sofa was FREAKIN’ COMFY! I may hook up the trailer and go back for that thing later.

You should publish a coffee table book of your power nap series, I’d buy it.
