After months of searching, comparing and test riding I finally bought my newest bike. His name is Robin and I’ve been riding him around the city, testing his speed on longer rides. When my non-biking friends heard my big news they asked what I planned to do with Francis, my cream bike. He’s not going anywhere.

I had no idea your bicycle emeritus was named Francis.
Retired now, then? I feel honored to have ridden over that crossbar!

Yes, his name has always been Francis. He’s still around and I use him when I need to buy stuff or carry something. I’ll ride him in the winter since he has an internal hub, fenders and a chain guard.
I’m going to put fenders and a rack on Robin, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
