    Very pretty bike, I'd be interested to hear how that Sora works out...

    Wear your helmet. Don't go any faster than you feel comfortable going, especially downhill. Always ASSUME that cars are going to do the wrong thing. Always ASSUME that the car driver does not see you.

    Have fun!

    If you see some debris in the road (pothole, glass, stone), don't focus on it. Your bike will want to go where your eyes are looking, so look for the safe way around, and focus on that.

    Have fun!

    If you have some little inkling about some sort of goal or ride you would like to do someday...believe it! You can do it, and you will be amazed at what you find yourself doing on your bike. Welcome to biking and TE! Woohoo!
