I guess I was athletic. I rode horses, ran track, played basketball with the boys, ice skated, played a little softball when I was young, played basketball and volleyball in college. I wasn't really a very good "ball" athlete, just fast so I would get put on teams.

I did not really have trouble with learning to ride a road bike, but I did have trouble learning how to mountain bike. The riding a bike on rocky terrain and the swift changes in ups and downs caused me some problems with shifting gears, and balance. It has taken me a long time to become a passable bike handler off road - just don't have enough guts.

The road bike after the first initial wow, this bike has skinny tires and is light sensation, was pretty easy to get used to.
