Melinda, you are so beautiful! And no, youse guys don't look "your age"!

Is your new bike better than the cruiser in terms of gears and your knees? It sure is a purty color!

The pictures must have been taken on Sat, since that was our "sunny day". Today wasn't bad either, though I opted to ski instead of bike. Storm coming in now but maybe this weekend it'll be good enough for a little ride? (If I don't decide to run off to the desert for the weekend, which is a possibility!)

Melinda, Congratulations on your new bike. You have every reason to be excited. You and your husband look like such a lovely couple.

Best of luck not only with your new bike, but also on your new road to getting healthy. Be sure to update us with how you are doing and your bike adventures.

Melinda,

Believe it or not, I think you are an inspiration. My mom is exactly your age, knee problems and weight problems for 30 years. I'm so excited for you, I sent the link to her and hope it inspires her to get back on a bike.

I flew my old mountain bike down to her in Mississippi five years ago, but she probably only rode it once. I know she's afraid to crash, but look at you! That fit looks great! I tried to talk her into an Electra Townie because the cranks are out front and she can be flat-footed, but you're right, cruisers are HEAVY.

Thanks for the inspiration, and have a FANTASTIC time on your bike! I cycle by myself mostly, but it is great to ride with someone else at least once a week. Good luck!!!!!
