My new bike and lock

I went to the University's downtown bike shop today (the university also has a smaller one on campus) and bought a bike for 15 euros.  I had to put patched tubes in the tires to get it home, and even though the rear tire went flat on the last quarter mile of the three and a half mile trip, i finally have a decent machine.  Tomorow I will go to their version of Walmart and buy new tubes for the tires (probably 3 euros each).  Over the weekend I suppose I will clean the frame since it is covered in all sorts of dirt and dust.  I will also take photos tomorrow during the day so that they won't be blury.
