Riding Around Valencia

Searching for a seond hand bike proved difficult, so we finally broke down and bought 3 spanking new bicycles from the Spanish version of K-Mart, a french store called Carre Four. One week later, Mark's was stolen while he attended drawing class in Barrio Carmen! Undaunted, and with a little help from my mom and dad, we managed to find a replacement bike at El Rastro, the Sunday flea market. We had been told all the bikes there were stolen, but the older man we bought it from seemed honest to me; he told us he's retired and fixes bikes as a hobby.
