My husband and I went to the shop over the weekend to look at the bike that I mentioned above. Left the shop with 2 bikes (much less expensive each than the original one), clips, clothes, the works!
Rode twice over the weekend - 15 and 22 miles - and am I SORE! Particularly my neck and shoulders. I'm hoping that it's a new muscle group and not a poorly fitting bike. They did spend a long time fitting us at the bike shop, so hopefully the bike's fine. Going out tomorrow to try 25 miles...
