Hello, everyone!!!
I wonna ask how many of us have got bikes here, in the US? This matter is quite interesting for me, since as fas as I know only a few people do. If you do have a bike, will you tell me how you obtained it. Here is my experience in that. I askd my roommate about a bike. And for luck, he had one. But you know - it is no use buying a bike here, especially a new one. The price is f high - $100-150 (a one-month-scholarship amount of money!). The thing I did is just arranged to lease it. It solves any problem related to this matter. Firstly, it saves me the uncertainty that I will not sell it when I leave America - so, I am not going to lose my money presenting the bike to somebody for nothing. Secondly, it is much cheaper - around $40-50 for a one-year lease contract (joke - we did not sign any contract, rather it was an expressed one, but it is still enforceable). Ok, waiting for your replies. Igor from hot MS. [Brat 3: University of Pennsylvania I] |

A used bike in Lincoln is 20$. A new one is about the same. In winter the bikes are useless - you better think of a tractor  [Brat 3: University of Pennsylvania I] |

hey, Bella, your reply seems to be quite "funny". Thanks for maintaining my ideas...
by the way, it is going to be a cold winter in Lincoln, but here, in MS, the winter will be warm and nice - and i will not need any tractor, i can easily use my bike all year around. but it is a good idea - keep it in mind, because when winter comes in Lincoln, you will need some means of transportation.

Hey, dudes from the states, where the winter is going to be rather cold and snowy!!! I am sorry for you, but you have got an advantage over us: you will not miss coldness and snow while South states and me in particular will. And the following peice of advice will be of great help for you: gotovte sani s leta!!! It means buy all warm clothes now, do not wait till the winter, prepare your mind now for the fact that you are going to have a f cold winter so that it is not a shock for you then. After all, maybe I will ask you to post me some snow (ha x 3 times!!!). Do not get offended, you will cope with it easily.
