New bike

I bought a used mountain bike a week or two ago for only $25. Now, I have found that the old saying "you get what you pay for" is generally true, and this case was no different. But the fact that the bike is a piece of junk does not really bother me, as I will only be using it for a month or so. It is a bike, and it works, and that is all I care about.

I took it into a shop recently to see how much a tune-up would cost, and they basically told me that it wasn't worth it and that I should just go buy a new $100 bike. I kept telling them that I was only going to have it for a month and just wanted it in working condition. I didn't want to pay an amount that was more than the bike just to fix it, so I ended up just buying a new chain with the intention of putting it on myself.

I hope the bike will hold up for me until Burning Man roles around, as I am planning to use it as my transportation at the festival. I want to do something crazy to it to make it more fitting for the eccentric vibe of the event. Maybe paint it and add some lights?

Picture of me testing the bike out on a jump. Minutes later, I raised the height of the ramp and jumped over the bonfire.
