A Day of small Firsts for me

Lisa- Congrats. Hills are hard and flats on a back tire stinks. You will really improve from those challenges! I still have a lot of trouble getting the back wheel on.

Darcy- What type of computer do you have? I have a Cateye Astrale 8 and you can download the instructions from their website. Mine has the function to stop when the wheels stop or keep going until you stop it. I have it set to stop when I stop.

Hi Lisa,

Yes, it does feel like you need a third hand, but i found that if i stand sort of behind the bike, lift it by the seat and reach down to pull back the derailleur with my right hand, it works. It took a little practice and still feels awkward, but not like it first did.
If you turn your bike over, you can mess up your bars, brakes, and/or shifters. Seat, too. Plus, to me, everything is then in a different place and I can't figure out what to do!
