back to basics - specialized bikes

i got talked into a buying a friggin mountain bike last week. what am i going to do with this? it's a specialized rockhopper bike. supppose for moutain biking but when have you know me to go to the moutains? argh. $500 out the door that could have been used on a nice pair of shoes. i guess i'll have to use this eventually and get a little fitter eh? bye bye gucci.
