I want a bicycle

 I always love bicycles, in Brazil in my childhood my Father did not have a car but a bicycle, I remember going every where, tree of us in one bike, and was fun, I was 13 wen my father get his very first car.
 My very first bike was a 3 wheels red one, luckily I have a picture...



I remember did not rest long, broke. My mother worked that time, cleaning the mayor house and they have kids with bikes so I learned ride in they bikes after many damages in my legs. Took very long time for I get another, but was a real bike, red again because was the only color in the store and was the only store, I ride from the store back home with my father and is a great feeling in ride a bike like freedom.
Some years later I had to sell my bike because I was too big for it, and I was in the adulthood, saving money for a house, for a car and I forgot my good friend bike.
Today married, house, car and from nothing I begin to dream with the perfect bike again. My husband is begging for I please don't talk about bike anymore.
I find the perfect bike at Kmart for a very good price $ 189.99 Schwinn 26" 7 speed gears, but they are out stock, is assembly required and I don't know how to used this gears.


I

So I find this other one at Dick's for  $359.99 a Nirve free shipping, 1 gear, they assembly at the store, of course I will have to buy and install a back track, a basket a light and a bell.

So.... now I don't know what to do.... maybe send a letter to Santa Claus? 

All I can think now is some part of the movie Wedding Crachers...
-I want a bicycle.
_I just want a bicycle.
-Make me a bicycle, clown!
-Shut your mouth, funny guy, and make it.
