The Bikes

It's Thursday today. I'm imagining Boyfriend and I to be quite sick of people arguing over mealtimes and what to do to fill a day by now. Maybe we're even tired of not being able to cook our own meals. It could be we miss our electronics and friends and the internet (though Boyfriend has it on his phone). Maybe I've even broken down and filed off my hard work from Friday from my nails, but I'm going to try hard not to.

What we definitely will miss before the week is out is our bikes. Bikes are freedom, bikes are possibilities. More importantly, bikes are cooling down on a hot day and a legitimate way to spend a day without a computer. Bikes are being able to go get an ice cream when you want and fufilling a need for speed without the need for a driver's license. I know there's safe biking roads and not that many tricky traffic situations where we are.

But taking our bikes on six hour train rides, without travel backpacks, that's not feasible.

So I'm sitting here, wondering if we'll rent some. Maybe we can rent some for a week. I know where to rent them on a daily basis, and that they come with locks, so I'm definitely looking into it. I just don't know if we can afford it, is all. If it's under sixty euros, I'm getting me a bike. If it's over, no way. If we can't rent bikes at all, it's not really an issue, since I'm pretty sure the daily rate was fifteen euros per person and getting them back before six pm.

And, however awesome bikes are, that's a bit dear and limited.
