Today was a good day. I managed to borrow a bike for my entire stay in Switzerland from a colleague at work who wasn't using it anymore. It's a mountain bike and has 21 gears and is still in very good condition and I am so happy! I was initially planning on buying one at a second-hand bike market (http://goo.gl/G4o0h5) which usually sells abandoned bikes which have been picked up by police. Anyone can also go there to sell their bikes, however through a casual chat during coffee break and an announcement on the company's internal RSS feed, I was lucky enough to avoid the hassle and only had to pay the train ticket for transporting the bike from my colleague's home. No more long walks to the train station or Migros!
She has already served me well - I was almost certainly going to miss the train to go to Winterthur today and I managed to catch it with a minute to spare!
