new bike!

As the title suggests, we got a new bike. Since we (my wife and I) only had a hybrid bike and a mountain bike respectively, we made a financial decision to purchase a rode bike. It wasn't easy as we are not immune to the financial crisis just like anyone else; diminishing 401K's, salary freezes, and possible layoff's at work. Oh yeah, and we both work at the same company. But since we both have made an increased effort to live a healthy lifestyle and staying in shape, the rode bike is something we can both use for different events into the future. 

We've been talking about what to name the bike. It's red in color, so my wife initially thought "Lucy" was a good name, in honor of Lucille Ball. I simply thought "Red" was a good name, but that seemed to obvious. I asked my 2 year old daughter what we should name the bike and she said "Winnie the Pooh". Well I don't think we could argue with the cuteness of that, so "Winnie the Pooh" it is! Or just Winnie or Pooh or WTP, the possibilities are endless. 

If it ever gets warm for more that a day or two, we may even be able to use it before May.
