Feels like flying compared to my Cannondale 400 Comfort. I think I'll keep her (the Cannondale), just in case I need a rehab bike again. After all, she's what got me to this point. I'm so lucky MDH realizes the need for a good bike even though money is tight. I've had my last coffee shop coffee in a LONNNNGGG time! :p

That happened to me once. A Luna followed me home all the way from New Mexico. Enjoy your new bike.

Congratulations! Would love to see a picture.
Even if money is tight, remember it's a great investment for your health. The dividends are worth it!

I'm not getting anything done today. And it's supposed to rain tonight. (But she does have disk brakes :D)

Congrats on the new ride!!! Yes, we'll need to see pictures. ;)
I will admit to bikes following me home. I fear that there will be more bikes that will follow me home in the future.

The enabler at the LBS let me take it home for the evening yesterday, knowing full well I'd never willingly give it back. I did my 15 miles last night in 1/2 the usual time! Today she sports my ergon bars/bar ends, blinkie lights, my topeak rack and brooks saddle. I was holding off on switching out the saddle, but the kona saddle was not fun, and (although I hate to admit it) I missed the springs. It was cold and rainy, and I was the only U on the MUP, but I had a great ride. I will post pictures.
She's the electric blue one pictured here http://bikes.konaworld.com/09/09_dewdeluxe_uk.cfm My savings account is shot, but it is SO worth it!
My Cannondale looks stripped down and lonely. She got me over a back injury and neck surgery, for which I'll always be grateful.
Ecstatically,
Deb

Yay! Sounds like you're really enjoying the new bike.
I'm sure you'll find a way to show some love to the Cannondale, when you're ready. For now, enjoy the new bike and all of the progress that you've made with your healing!

Huh! It just followed me home, I couldn't help it. I told it to go home, but it wouldn't stop following me...
I shoulda thought of that!;)
Good for you!!!

The fact that I was on it at the time is a mere technicality.:o

One freezing cold ride and one more very wet ride and I'm still in love with this bike. I'm amazed at what 2" larger, skinnier tires can do!
