Bought a bike

I bought a bike. I'd take a picture for you, but it is dark out. I would say tomorrow, but I'll probably forget.

It is a decent used bike I bought from a shop. The guy told me 800kr ($133). I asked if that was negotiable and he said maybe. I left and looked at a different place, but they only had new bikes and the cheapest was 1300kr. I asked the front desk receptionist at DIS if she thought 800kr was negotiable (and maybe how negotiable). She thought it might be able to be brought down 50-100 kroner at some places, but at others probably not.

I went back and ended up paying 790 kr. He threw in a new lock and changed the front tire (it wasn't in very good shape). The bike has a 3 month warranty, so if it has any problems I can bring it back and they'll fix it for free.

It is 3-speeds. The gear system is different than a US bike. The chain doesn't move, but rather it is an enclosed system (of gears I guess). Turning the pedals backwards puts on the brakes like it would on a kids bike. I like that. :) It is a more mountain bike frame with thick tires. Most Danes ride "city bikes" with thin tires, etc.

Hopefully I can sell it before I leave for close to what I paid. Otherwise I guess it is a birthday present to myself! It is much too nice out to sit on a bus for 30 minutes each day.
