Yet another new rider!!

Hello ladies. I am a new member (lurked for a few days) and a new owner of a Trek 7.5 WSD. Well, it is ordered and on its way here. I decided I wanted to ride to work (4.2 miles) and I saved my tips all winter to buy a bike. I test rode a few bikes last fall but couldn't decide what I wanted. My neighbor was gracious and let me borrow her Trek 1500 WSD for a few days, and that as all I needed to make a decision. This is a great forum, I like the support and comraderie here. I am a little tentative to ride on a busy street just yet, but I'm sure I will get more accustomed to the traffic.

Welcome to TE! You've come to the right place for all things bicycle!

Welcome to the site! Riding with other more experienced riders is a great way to get used to riding in traffic, plus it's safer. I guess you may not be able to do that to ride to work, but maybe you can find some group rides to get involved in aside from work, or find a friend to ride with. Just some thoughts.

Welcome!!! :)

congrats on the new bike! my commute is the same length as yours. It works out great; just long enough for a good workout.
and welcome to TE.
