Hi everyone! I just thought I would introduce myself. I am brand new to cycling. Thanks to my supportive and patient boyfriend, he is willing to work with me from scratch. We recently purchased a Cannondale R500 Feminine, and I plan to ride within the next few days. Finding the right bike for me was quite a challenge, seeing as though I am under 5'. We were lucky enough to walk into a Sports Chalet, and find a 40 frame. My BF has been cycling for years, but I have questions that he doesn't always know the answers too. I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask around. I have been geared up with the proper equipment and accessories, now I just need to get on my bike and ride. If anyone has any advice that they would like to offer, please send it my way. Thanks.
