I am trying to bid goodbye to my friend Electra Betty. She is a good kid, black with pink flames all over, I am gaga for her. I don't use her, she sits in the garage, she was actually hung up until this afternoon when I took her down and dusted her off and took her picture. She's a nice beach cruiser, 3 speed but too heavy to push up my hill after I am finished riding. It was suggested to me that I should just get a bike rack and take her to flat ground.
No.
I put an ad on Craigslist and will have some one be here with me if anyone shows up to buy her. I have only had one weirdo so far; I won't bore you with it but I did tell him I couldn't ship it because since The Accident I didn't have a car and could also not ride Betty anymore. Hey, I was just following his lead!
I probably rode her for 50 times, my husband says 20. It must have seemed like 50 as I pushed her up my hill...
I dusted her off and felt like crying (for a variety of reasons I suppose). Anyway, who could not want a bike like this???

She is gorgeous! But when it's time to say goodbye, it's time to say goodbye.
Remember that giant cactus I freecycled earlier this year? I'm still glad it's gone. (But also glad I have a picture of it on my blog!)

Hi Sue,
Yes I do remember your cactus very well! So you understand my pain...
I hope Betty goes to a good home! I also hope you don't regret her...
I got a bike last year and I've only taken it out about 5 times - but I'm keepin it....for now.
OH She is awesome!!! I wish I could take her and give her a good home but she would wind up on the wall in the garage because of the hills... I understand.
