I want to ride my bicycle

OK, here's the situation.

To get to and from the job I hope to have soon (El Paseo limo, for those not keeping track) I'm going to need a bicycle. Luckily, my sister had a bike that she rode perhaps three times. Bad news, it had been stored outside, and was a rusted hunk of metal. Chain, gears, even the seat post were almost fused. Not worth paying to fix, since the rust was obviously into the frame.

So, I'm now pricing bikes. CostCo had a couple of good ones for around $160. Since I'm not paying for this, I'm trying to see if I can get a better deal somewhere. Onward to Target's website!

Addition at 1855 I think I found a good one. Could the bicycle literate tell me what they think of this:

Friends with sick senses of humor

Well, aurictech has come through. Today, I received his payment on the NL standings bet. But...

The bloody bastard sent it in a condolence card! "In Deepest Sympathy at This Time of Loss"! I swear, once we stop laughing, you are doomed, buddy!

(I still haven't heard from one of the bettors. Please contact me if you haven't sent the money yet. penguin_boy@mindspring.com I really need this cash, it's not just beer money for me. Thanks)
