So, I got my new bike today and I'm really excited. It's a 19" 2008 Raleigh Detour 3.5and it's nice town. I got the bike from Intown Bicycles near Piedmont Park after shopping around some. The staff was really helpful and friendly, and I ended up test riding 3 bikes in the course of picking one out.
I also stopped by Skate Escape and Outback Bikes. Both shops were helpful, but they didn't really have a bike that fit what I was looking for. I would suggest Skate Escape for someone looking for a budget bike (they didn't have any in my price range that would fit me size-wise) or Outback if you looking for a higher end bike (they didn't really have anything in my price range). The guy at skate escape mentioned that most bike manufacturers were raising their prizes starting in August, so if you in the market I would start looking now.
I took my bike out for a spin in the neighborhood and realized how many hills I have around my house and how out of shape I am, but I'm going to start working on that. I'm really looking forward to riding my bike to school starting next month. Call me some time if you'd like to go for a ride!

I was expecting you to say that you spent all this time picking out an expensive bike, just to figure out that biking was too much effort. Well, at least that's what I did.
