clem buys a bike

yeah I did it. earlier this year if you asked me if I would ever buy a fixie I would have said fuck no. but for some reason they are appealing to me now. just a simple looking bike that looks like fun to cruise around on if I get tired of skating I suppose. but here are my main reasons for the sudden change of heart.

-single speeds look cool, real simple
-won't have to drive around as much since I will be keeping it downtown
-easy way out of driving people around to parties
-could be fun to cruise with friends at night
-the one i found was cheap as fuck for a fixed gear
-its a mongoose. ha
-I bought it from the most american chain store in the world. walmart.
-and this video is probably the main reason i've changed my mind...


so I guess im just waiting for it to be shipped to the walmart by my house. gonna pick up a u-lock and cable lock. maybe look into getting whatever I need to make the front wheel a quick release. but yeah, if someone would be down to let me lock it up in their backyard or something I'd appreciate it.

Haven't really decided if I'm gonna go breakless or not. I guess I re-learn how to ride a bike first with breaks then loose them.

here is the link to it on the walmart site, you should get one too

and here is a review, ill probably take it to a bike shop right after i buy it to make sure they put it together right at walmart.


and of course pictures, its a mongoose cachet:

this is what it will like before I get to it..




and this is what it will look like after I take care of a few things.


pretty excited, and ready for the hate from my friends.
