Hi there-this is a conundrum. I am new to biking. I love spinning. My spinning teacher was telling me, YOU should race, YOU should do the mini-tri, YOU should train for a century...blah blah blah. I would come home all ramped up..YES I SHOULD do all those things...but I don't have a bike. Well, now I do. A fuji roubaix. I came home, rode it for 5 minutes, and fell off. Bad fall. elbow to the curb. my elbow has motion now, but it still aches.
So after a few weeks of slings and such, when I so much as sit on my bike, I start shaking. I'm a huge wuss.
I want to OWN THAT BIKE also, I don't want to fail again in front of my husband and nosy neighbors who are all trying to help.
...yes before you ask...first time with clipless pedals.
Thanks for reading!
I plan on joining potomac pedalers here in D.C. area but am afraid to start!
