My friend, Danita, took delivery of her new bicycle today, and took it for a brief spin around her neighborhood.

She had been getting the urge to ride a bicycle recently and was thinking about buying an inexpensive "cruiser" style bike from Walmart. However, while talking to one of my coworkers one day, I learned of a barely-used Cannondale Adventure 400 that was for sale locally.

The bike is a 2006 Cannondale Adventure 400 that, according to the previous owner, hadn't been ridden even 200 miles from new. That meant this barely-used Cannondale only cost a few dollars more than what she would have spent for something at Walmart. The bike's like-new condition made this purchase a no-brainer.

Here's to many happy miles in the future !
