Ever since I moved out of my last apartment here to Nuñoa, I lost access to a bicycle. At firs it didn´t seem like sucha big deal, there were other things I could do. I had new places to explore with new people and for the time being it was sufficient. Slowly though, I began to crave the feeling of moving on two wheels. I started to feel out of shape, had less energy, and felt bored with my surroundings. I realized that I needed to buy a bike last week, when it just became too much and the craving was on the forefront of my mind. I had found another job and was ready to focus on other aspects of life.
So I went this weekend to the neighborhood that has all the bikes. It is jam packed full of bike stores. There is also a market that has lots of bikes for dirt cheap, however most are stolen and I didn't feel right buying one. So I went looking through the stores, bargaining for the best price. Carolina came along with giving me more of an bargaining edge then had I went alone. Finally I decided on a Spitfire, some cheap bike with all kinds of flashy stickers that I immediately removed after buying. It has front shocks and is fun to ride. Yesterday I went up to San Cristobal, which is even more of a ride now that I am further south in Nuñoa. It was a good ride, but wore me out, which is something I have been longing to feel ever since I moved.
