will do!

The Electra Townie. I'm thinking pink.

Thank you, Melalvai. I've read about and others have suggested the "sit on seat and push" method of learning, and that is my plan when my soreness is healed. Wow, very impressive camping bicycle...

Sylvia, that is a very impressive bike! did you make the seat post or find one to buy like that? Hooray for you for figuring out what you needed and making it happen. How is the riding for you...

I can relate!

Again, thanks to you all. Today I shopped bikes. First, let me get this off my chest: I did not ride a bike. because, I'm terrified of falling. Yes, shame on me. But, in all fairness to me, my...

Welcome. I'm very happy to hear from you. I'm just back in about about 12 years, taking time to heal a bit, looking for a bike and ready to ride again. However, it's winter in Ohio now, and I'm...

Awesome! it's not so much my age that bothers me. It's my general condiiton, lack of fitness, experience, long time off the bike, etc. working on it all~

There's a riding club near me, will get in touch with them at monthly meeting in a coupld of weeks.

Congrats on the bike, Cyclingfun! she's beautiful, very impressive. Happy trails!

Hi all, forgive me if this is a clueless question, as I am indeed clueless in the parts and mechanical dept. But I've read references to changing the seat post to move the seat further back from...

Thanks Melavai, good to know. I'm going to try this, sounds good to me.

Hello there, Cyclingfun-----what a great name. That's what a bike is for, right?? Thanks for posting, it's very good to know that there are lots of grannies here who ride. So I'm not actually...

Thanks to all of you for your response. I love reading about what you do, and think, and about all your many bikes! You make me dream dreams..............a week ago, all I wanted was to ride a...

P.S. nope, I'm not the horseback rider.

Thanks for the very good advice. I'm so glad to have found this site, it's wonderful.

Oh, ok, that makes sense. thanks, Muirenn.

Thanks for your reply. I looked at all the categories, and do not know what the appropriate forum category would be. ??

Hello all,

While my body is healing from a fall, I've been reading lots of good stuff on the forums. There are references to threads or forums according to age. Nobody who mentioned them knew...

My excitment over them is tampered a bit after I checked the price...........$150 to $200. would probably only be used two or three times, just til I get the details of pedaling, shifting, brakes,...

Very, very nice. Congrats. It's a wonderful to figure out what you want, and get it!

Thanks, Muirenn. I will carefully consider your advice on the Day 6. It does cost more than the Trek Pure, not sure about the electra. but will check both of them out. Monday is a free day for me...

Thanks, Oakleaf, I called northland cycle this morn, and they do have one Day 6 bike in the shop to test ride. so I will do that Monday, when I have a free day.

Thanks, NY, I just called a bike shop in Columbus and they do have Day 6 bikes in stock, so I will go try it on Monday, when i have a free day. and time to shop for other bikes also. excited!

Guess what, guys!!! I just heard about a thing called bike stabilizers for grown ups! Tell me the truth: would I be a total loser wash-out hopeless sissy if I used those just for a little while? ...
