I’ve decided that the Quickbeam is going to be my “mid-life crisis” bike. The Wikipedia article on the subject mentions these characteristics:
They exhibit some of these behaviors:
- abuse of alcohol
Been there, done that…enough already…- conspicuous consumption—acquisition of unusual or expensive items such as motorbikes, boats, clothing, sports cars, jewelry, gadgets, tattoos, piercings, etc., RIVENDELL BICYCLE
Okay, the article didn’t really mention the bicycles- depression
So far I’m not the type- blaming themself or their partner for their failures
Yep, I’m responsible for my own failure…yours are your own- paying special attention to physical appearance such as covering baldness, wearing “younger” designer clothes etc.
Oh dear God no- entering relationships with younger people
Define younger? 45?
Seriously though, the cost of the bike has added up a bit more than I expected. Still it looks like I can get some serious bicycle. Now I just have to decide if I want to go budget or first class…you know that mid-life crisis thing…?
Aloha!
