A bicycle built for two...

Today B. and I went to the Group Health International Bicycle Expo at Magnuson Park. It was a great idea, I thought. I've been looking for a new bike, as the one I have now is too big for me and there is usually always something B. needs for his bike. But it turned out to be nothing more than a bunch of bike excursion and retail sales reps. B. said that the best part of the event was the Polish sausage we shared for lunch. That’s not too good, considering it cost $8 per person to enter.

I did see a few bicycles that I liked. Unfortunately, most were outrageously expensive. I swear many of the bikes cost more than my first or second cars! One of my favorites was from Co-motion. (I love companies who actually use clever names and marketing. Sadly, few do). The one I liked was a very light-weight tandem bicycle, which cost around $5,000! Who spends that kind of money on a bicycle?

Before we left, I did see one from Raleigh that was much more affordable. It's kind of cute, isn't it?
