One day last summer I kept up with this roadie guy for a few miles on some small rolling hills. He kept looking back...probably thinking, "Geez, I can't lose the fat chick!" LOL! After awhile he dropped me, though.
well, it only happens when I ride on the interurban trail that crosses Everett Mall Way. It seems like there is ALWAYS a pack of teenage boys behind me hooting as I wait for the light to change. It's why I don't ride that way often...
Thanks for the advice about picking out a bike. I guess I'm wary of going to the lbs since it seems to be populated by teenage boys, and I'm reluctant to flag one down and ask him to help me pick out a bike I won't break (he might have been one of the guys at the mall...).
