I broke down and bought a new bike yesterday even though I did have to pay HST on it - the "old" government had actually taken the PST off new bikes. It's a GT Avalanche 2.0 and has front suspension and seems a pretty comfortable ride for a beginning moutain biker like me. I plan to get all my accessories off the other bike put onto this one - it's got to be useful for getting in to town for groceries and library books. I was also looking for a bike that would shift more smoothly, be lighter, and generally just work better. Had it out for a couple of rides again yesterday and it was a nice change. Today I learned it's Ride A Bike to work week so will have to ride in to work at the hospital grounds tomorrow.
