Just want to introduce myself (not sure if this is the correct place or not). I have been reading here for the past couple of months and I love it here!
I have a pink Trek Pure Sport-it's a pedal forward bike. I was more than a little uneasy on a regular bike so this seemed like a good option. My husband started repairing bikes in his free time and wanted to ride. I was SO against it at first, I would make him go alone with the kids in tow. It was just too uncomfortable for me-I was afraid of regular bikes, felt too fat, and too uneasy about everything. I got the Pure and all of that changed! Now we ride all of the time and are talking about buying new bikes in the next 6 months or so.
I have been riding for 5 weeks and have been 215ish miles. I have about 100 pounds that I could stand to lose so I am being more aware of what goes in my body so that I can take advantage of the calories I burn.
I am so thankful for this forum and for the excitement that being on a bike has brought me!
