Ok so yesterday was the VERY first day I went out withOUT overshorts hiding my bike shorts. After having lost 40lbs I finally feel a lil more confident and DH said "Woah...... looking good" (GREAT confidence booster)

Do I count as a real biker?? Oh wait, I had on an Old Navy Sweatshirt..... damn I was so close to being a real biker.........

And FWIW, I never WAVE to anyone. My balance isn't good enough yet and I am usually going too fast (haha.... had to laugh at myself for that one). But I do nod and say "hi" as I whip by. Some respond, some don't, but I never think negatively based on the hello or lack thereof.
