And now we have bicycles ...

We continue our acquisition spree for things that we did not bother to get over from home. I thought we could buy good second hand bicycles here, but Nelson is too small a town to have a second hand bicycle market (though it has a HUGE second hand car market, kinda sad that there so many more cars than bikes).

We went to the nice folks at Stewart Cycles and spoke to Mike the owner Turns out that they have a pretty decent buy back policy and we can return the bike in 6-9 months time and get back upto 50% of what we paid. We decided to go for a more comfortable flat bar road bike. Mari bought the Diamondback XR3 and I went for the GT Legato 4.0. Mike and the Stewart cycle folks are definitely recommended for folks in the Nelson area. We also did stop by Kevin cycles, they did not seem to have the range of bikes or a buy-back policy :)

Let the riding begin ...
