I would think that you would ride it, instead.

Dear Bill,
No, but my Fury RoadMaster did.

Gosh, did it pay cash or use it's Wal-Mart Visa card?
Dear Werehatrack,
I'm afraid that both my Fury and my Schwinn would insist
that I'm just along for the ride and to make excuses about
the damned wind.
Annoyed by being asked to roll around an unfamiliar route,
my Schwinn touring bike also objected to brisk headwinds on
the outbound leg and turned in a disappointing 10:46 at an
average 22.63 mph over 4.06 miles this morning--better than
the Fury's 11:52 and 20.53 yesterday, but still slower than
hoped for.
As for who paid the Fury's new tires, I suspect that it's a
bit like flowers and perfume--the one who pays for them is
not usually the one who gets them.
Given U.S. banking habits, I expect to find a letter in the
mailbox that congratulates "Mr. F. Roadmaster" on his
excellent credit history and offers him a card with a $5,000
line of credit and a surprisingly high interest rate and
annual fee.
After all, they used to call it a "revolving" credit plan.

Seems Roadmaster isn't the only Fury bike out their:

Of course since GT like the Schwinn you've been using as Fury competition and Roadmaster are commonly owned, you can think of this as a Pacific intramural competition.
