    bike

    I havent been on the bike since Saturday due to work ,weather, etc....but this early evening Im for sure going to ride it. Im trying to switch the lights from the hybrid over to the Road bike.
    All this talk about being heavy ,and self consious. Well, Im 5/9 ,and weigh 125 ,and am extremely self consious about being too thin. I wear my shorts under someting,so I guess it doesnt matter what size you are, we all have our insecurities,at least Im out there.
    Once Ellen loosened my pedal, I seemed to ride easier. I know Ill be Ok ,but Im out of my comfort zone.

    hard to believe that one could be self conscious about being thin! I'm glad to hear you are feeling more confident on your bike. I've been following the thread with great interest since I'd been thinking about making the switch myself. At one point I'd decided, "well, if she doesn't like it, most likely I won't either--and I'll look even more foolish during the learning process". But I think we're all coming 'round now.

    Don't worry about it Suzie! Just last summer someone mistook me for a small boy... My friends are still having a good laugh over that one.
