Congratulations Erin and Daniel!

my new wheels

special thanks to "Bob" on Hirsch and Western who hooked me up with this awesome bike (btw, anyone in Chicago looking for a used bike, let me know and I'll give you his info. he has lots of reasonably priced used bikes and seems like an honest guy). Also, special thanks to Rapid Transit Cycle Shop in Wicker Park for GIVING me the crate (free!) and even attaching it for me (win!).
