La Bicyclette

I bought a bicycle this weekend, a Novara Fusion. For being REI’s house brand Novara makes quite nice bikes.

Ben helped me pick it out, and aptly described it as “having this grrrr city bike Mad Max thing going on.” It’s that, but it’s also kind of old-timey in its colors and styling. What I like best is that it came ready to be a total car replacement; with a good bag and some paniers there’s very little that one couldn’t haul on the Fusion that one couldn’t have delivered instead.
