I was thinking about getting a new mountain bike for the last few months. I had a CCM Ice bike since 1994 or so, and it was starting to show its age. Rust, bad brakes, minor gear problems, handle grips wearing, scratches, etc. It does still work fine, though.

But I’m glad I waited for a few months. This week SportChek had a sale, and I got a $299 Arashi Tread bike for $179. It’s a 21 speed, with shocks on both front and rear wheels. Easy shifting gears. And it looks pretty nice.

I bought it on Thursday. Friday, it was cold and raining. Saturday, it was freezing and it snowed. Big change from last weekend, when it was 20+ degrees. It’s starting to warm up again though, and the roads are getting dry again. Maybe I’ll go for a ride later if it’s not too cold.
