My bike is determined it will not be forgotten. Ever since I decided to get a new bike, it has hurt me several times. Once, it ran me into a bush, and just now the chain slipped and I flew into the handlebars. It's not been anything particularly permanent, but still, it's the nature of the thing. When I first got down to College Station, my bike was a bit skittish, and threw me off several times before it calmed down. Then the handlebar bent. Now I've had this bike since it was almost taller than me, but it's just too much work to try to completely rebuild it. My brakes then went out, and my bike lock is almost completely useless (it corrodes really easily, apparently). I've not had back brakes for years, and with the front brakes gone, the pedals breaking, the handlebar bent, and my kickstand broken, it's time for something new.

Sorry for my rant, I just needed to get that out of my system. If you can understand any of that, you're doing better than me. Suffice it to say I'm replacing my bike and it's not happy about it.
