I decided today that I would allow myself a new bike after I bike 10,000 miles on my current carbon bike that I have had for just over a year. That way, I will get a pretty good idea of the type of bike that I want next, and it will keep me from blowing 8K for the sake of greed.
10,000 - 22.81 = 9977.19 miles to go
See! I already accomplished something.
