πŸͺ΄/ New Bike!

Apr 21, 2024

Got myself a new bike!

It's a single speed from State Bicycle that I've been eyeing for a few months.

Had a couple of other options (https://shop.fairdalebikes.com/collections/fairdale-lookfar/products/2023-fairdale-lookfar-gloss-surf-blue-in-xs-l, https://www.cannondale.com/en-us/bikes/active/fitness/adventure/adventure-eq, https://surlybikes.com/bikes/preamble), but the combination of simplicity, price, and novelty of the drop bars and single speed made it for me. I'll probably explore something else in the future; I still want an ebike to zip through Houston with anyway 😁.

I'm starting out minimalist with what I'm attaching to it, just my previous bike's lock and next I'll get lights and a phone mount on it. I'll end up attaching a rear and front bike rack on it eventually as well, so I can grab groceries and whatnot!

Just remembered to register it on https://bikeindex.org/, to give me data to report if it ever gets stolen 🫑.

Current maintenance to do:
