Today I went into Jack and Adam's on a day very much like any other. One hour later, I strolled out with a brand new Felt Z85. Red and black. Smooth finishes. Polished and pristine. I am officially a bike owner!!!!!!!!!! (Note all the exclaimation points)

Here's my bike motto of the day. A bike is like a pet (although my spoiled puppy Duke isn't a prime example). You put love into your relationship with it and it will most certainly love you back. Maybe it won't fetch or play with a ball of yarn, but I predict many good memories with my trusty two-wheeler in the upcoming months and years. And guess what? Together we're about to go places you've only imagined in your wildest dreams.

*A special thank you to Drew and all the wonderful bike experts at Jack and Adam's for greeting me today with warmth and sending me off with a smile.
