Ever since I returned from Italy, I wanted to purchase a bicycle. What inspired me was the fact that a large number of guys used bikes back there. Even big shots who drove Audis and VolksWagens, would switch to their bikes a few times every week (while it was bright and sunny, of course).
So, I was all charged up when I came back home and told everyone at home about my plan. My mum laughed at me, and thought I was insane. She said that even school kids these days asked for motorbikes and here was I, wanting to buy a bike! Well, she did have a point, but it still did not discourage me. I still wanted to get a bike!
Unfortunately, the rains had to start right about then and it was pointless to pick up a bike. I could not have ridden it anywhere, considering the amazing conditions of the roads during monsoon! I had no option but to wait until the rains stopped. Crap!
Now that the rains finally stopped, I was all excited and started with the groundwork. It was only then I figured out how difficult it was to make a choice! Each store had about twenty or more different bike models, and there were so many damn stores! I thought I would make my life simpler by checking for details over the internet. Big mistake! There were even more bikes listed on the internet! It took me all of last three weeks to circle in on a bike, and the store that sold it!
So yesterday, after a wait of nearly six months, I finally got myself a bike! The only thing left was to ride it home! And hey, have I told you that the store was some sixteen kilometres form home?! Well, I had planned for the long ride and had even changed my exercise routine to concentrate on my thighs and the calf muscles! (Hah, clever me!)
It took me about an hour and ten minutes to get home. Of course, I was a little exhausted, but I did make it home in decent time! I was proud of myself for the fact that I got myself prepared for the ride! I had planned it all! Bravo!
Or, so I had thought!
When I woke up this morning, I realised there was one part of my body that I had completely forgotten about! My bum – it hurts like hell!
