The past two weeks have been supremely hectic and uber fast-paced. Since I got back from Montréal, I might've only cooked one meal at home, and I've just been coming home to sleep. My place had been a mess: I had clothes on the floor, bills and receipts all over my desk, flyers and mail all over the kitchen counter and my roommate's hair accumulating in the corners of the apartment... But now that work at MB is back to semi-normal, I decided to skip hip hop class to clean up and catch up.

I haven't had much time to bike hike, outside of riding to and from work. But I've been thinking about a second-hand bike a lot lately. The reason I want a second bicycle is so that I run errands with it, with the peace of mind that even if it gets stolen, I didn't pay all that much for it. I just want a beater bike that I can leave outside the mall for 12 hours. And when I come back, it'll either still be there cause it's such a shitty bike no one would want it; or it'll be stolen, but I wouldn't care cause I paid less than $10 for it and it came with kickass rainbow streamers.

Another reason I want a beater bike is so I can install a basket in the front and a milkcrate in the back to run errands. I hate having to bring my duffelbag with me to the grocery stores and load it up with 50lbs of crap over my one shoulder. With the beater bike, I wouldn't care what it looked like, so long as it did the job.

And I think I just found what I need... Thank you instructables.com!
