The thing is: It was not yet 08:00 AM, so it was still dark and I put on my new light and what happened? It fell to the ground and BROKE!
I was so sad and mad, for here you have to pay a fine when the police catches you riding your bike without having the lights on, but I had no other choice, for if I would have walked I would have been late for my lecture!
Then today I was in a bike shop, to ask how much it would cost for the guy to install lights on my old bike and it was nearly 40€!
I was shocked, but said I would come back later and left.
This is what I am talking about!
I'm talking about a rusty, small, old folding bike!!!
At home I searched randomly for an used bike in my area, and interesting enough:
I found one among the small ads on eBay for only 30€!
So I called the guy who put up the ad, and he told me I could come over and take a look at the bike.
I immediately left my flat to check it out!
Actually I wanted to upload a picture of the "new" bike, but the ad has been deleted.
However it looks good, the lights function (which is absolutely LOVELY!!!) and I even got a little basket in the front :)
I bought it right away!
A friend of mine fixed the handle bar (for it was loose..), then I changed the seat, and pumped up the wheels..
Now it is an absolutely AWESOME bike!!
And it's HUGE compared to my small bike here hahaha
So: If you need something urgently, just search for it randomly on the internet and you might be lucky!
Also: Don't hesitate and call the owner right away, if not others might!
