Should have bought that bike
Jul. 30th, 2007 12:41 pmI nearly bought a bike in a sale last week, but figured I don't have enough money, I can still get a second hand one cheaper, I'm not going to really use it, etc.
I've now lined up some temp work. Very part time, for very little money (so little, you can tell how desperate I am). It's easy enough to get to by bus (for those who know Bristol, it's in Cadbury Heath so I just get on either bus that comes past here and stay on till the end of the line) but that doesn't get round the cost of the bus. Fares goin' up AGAIN next week too. It's just over 3 miles from here - ie too far for me to walk, especially with all the hills in the way.
It would be perfect for cycling.
I'd go back and buy the bike today, except that I just got my credit card bill and it's bad. In the anyone want to buy a kidney? sense. And I start on Wednesday so there's no time to go looking in the small ads for second hand bikes.
I'm going to try walking it now, to see if it's feasible to at least walk home every day and save on some bus fares.
Edit: I got over halfway there before I realised I needed to turn back if I was going to make it home, so in theory walking home is do-able; am unsure about multiple days/week or doing anything constructive after I walk home.
