open adoption

Also, I gave Amelia to her potential new owner tonight, to get fitted and then try out for a couple weeks before she buys. It was my idea...she's a little taller than me, and I want to make sure that it's a good fit before I can sell the bike to her in good conscience.

I really do hope they work out. I ride with this girl every Saturday, so it'd be almost like an open adoption. The bike will be going to a good home, and I'll still get to see her once a week. Plus, I know that the new owner would take good care of her, and take her on many long, happy rides. She's too young to retire, after all.

See, this sort of thing is why it's maybe not such a good idea to get so attached to my sporting goods (or, you know, anthropomorphize them). I almost feel like I'm selling a member of the family...but it's still better than letting her rot away in the garage like a common lawnmower. :)
