My Newest Steed

Yesterday I brought home a new bike, which is a Specialized Globe Vienna 2.
This bike is a blast to ride, and will be my grocery/errands/library/Starbucks bike.

It comes with a bell, and I added the rack (and will get panniers soon).
I added blinkies (front and rear lights) and took the maiden voyage after dark!

For those interested in details, it comes with an 8 speed cassette, v-brakes,
and cool looking Globe platform pedals. It even has a kickstand (!) which is
great when loading stuff on the back.

I'm going to use this nearly every day as my way of getting to the gym as well.
The Specialized Roubaix, my super-cool road bike, will still get plenty of use
as a weekend rider for longer rides.

Another newbie! So, what did you name him! Still can't figure out why there's a bar for men....it would hurt if you slipped down onto it!

You need to add a Starbucks insolated cup holder ;-)
