Even before getting accepted, I knew that I wanted a bike if I lived in Tucson (thank you Pinterest). And when I visited in March, I just saw bikes everywhere. So naturally, my first item on the to-do list was buy a bike. But where??? I found this used bike shop called BICAS about a 20 minute walk away and headed there. They sell refurbished bikes, recently used bikes, bike parts, and accessories. They also have space for you to learn how to fix your bike under the supervision of a mechanic. A pretty cool place. To be honest, I was a little nervous--I didn't what would be good for me and I didn't want to mess up! But the people there were super helpful. There was really only one bike that fit me (that purple one above) so I rode around the neighborhood for a test run. Super smooth and nothing too intense for me to ride to the grocery store or the movies. Hopefully it lasts and doesn't get stolen and I don't mind riding in the heat. But I am very excited to take it out on the town and see what Tucson has to offer.
