Initiating a newbie into the club!
So a friend of mine is in the process of purchasing her first road bike ever. She has historically ridden basically whatever was on hand, which was old beaters and various mens bikes. Keep in mind she is all of 5'1 on a good day and even on a 48 cm road bike we had to order in a 44. Lordy, I can only imagine how much fun she is going to have when this new bike comes in next week! She is super excited; she was ready to take the 48 cm out the door though she could barely clear the top bar because she said it fit better than any other bike she has ever ridden. It was so much fun going with her and watching her jump on and zip across the parking lot and see her face when she came back. She had the "OMG this is soooo awesome" look on her face when she rolled back to the shop :D I think we can all relate to that! I asked her if she minded the color of it and she was absolutely thrilled it was pink and white because she said she wanted a girls bike since she had never had one that was just for her. So I guess there is credence to our debate over 'girly' colors after all. She already wants to go for a ride as soon as she gets her bike.
I thought you all might enjoy a story like this. :D
