I used you for soo long my friend. You were the cheapest and most easily maintained. Every where I needed to go and everything I needed to do, you were there for me. I treated you bad once in awhile. Well, only when you deserved it. But being that you’re an inanimate object, maybe you didn’t deserve it. Thats neither here nor there, but I am sorry for throwing you at my fence in anger. That was clearly the start and the end of our troubles. I just wanted to say thanks again for completing me like nothing else could. When I got my new bike in the summer I canabilized you for parts when needed. I switched your tires because they were better than the new ones. Go figure, eh? I even swapped your tubes because the new one went flat on my second ride. Go figure again, eh? Then when I left the house this morning I found my rear tire was flat. That was the last usable part of you I had left. Goodbye my friend, you will be missed and our 5,237km will live on forever, or as long as Strava stores the data. —Nukka

nice nukka, finally a love i can get behind or in front of
Or on top of.
Klyde- Thanks, and I still got yo back.
She Sang- Thanks, I miss her already. I got a new, very costly mountain bike, and its crap. Nothing but problems. Who would have thought a $100 Walmart bike would be better quality than one that cost almost a grand…..
PG- You inspire me to submit weekly Loves… well, more so to have them posted under the moniker of Nukka. I love that guy!
Captain- Psh! Just kidding.
