Esther Rides a Bike!

Thought I'd follow Davey with an intro to me and my bike! Where to begin... Learned how to ride a two-wheeler without training wheels when I was three. Impressive, I know. About four years ago I bought a bike instead of a car so I could get around faster when I moved downtown...

It was a cheap mountain bike 'cause road bikes looked scary back then. I eventually met some people involved in the bike community and tried out my first road bike, ended up borrowing bikes here and there until I could afford my own. I've now been the proud owner of a little green Mercier fixie for two years, which I ride every day. My sister Carla gave me some awesome risers with pink grips for Christmas and I won the pink chain during a footdown comp. People tell me my spoke cards are lame, but they're one of my favorite parts about my bike 'cause they're reminders of all the awesome events I've been a part of!
