I think I'll call her Violet

I haz a new bike!

I went ahead and got the Fuji Silhouette I had on layaway, because I just liked that bike. Plus it's so pretty.

The nice man at the store gave me the SPD pedals they'd put on the bike for test riding. So I don't have the platform pedals that came with the bike, but I'm not that sad about it. He threw in water bottle cages too, which was nice. I bought a computer and gels and whatnot. I also got these new PowerBar Gel Blasts, which taste an awful lot like those frog gummy candies. Mmmm. I only got one package so I'm going to have to stop by and pick up some more.

The only bad thing is that the bike doesn't really fit on my car rack. Not sure what I'm going to do about that yet. I can cram it on, but I'm not happy about it.

Anyway, here's Violet!
