So cool and fun and exciting to have a new bike
... enjoy them ladies, and here's wishing you many happy miles on your handsome steeds
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Please don't say I have to fall 8 more times. This is one time I hope the dear rabbi is wrong!
It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)

Wow I'll never go clipless
Hello all,
I'm just getting into biking after a 4 day vacation in France. I bike thru Bourgoune in a self guided wine tour. Now that I'm back, I can't stop thinking about the tour, planning the next one, and shopping touring bikes.
Sure enough I come home and the next day, splat, I fall off my bike. My left elbow is still healing. One thing for sure, I'm staying away from the clipless pedals!! Its not worth the falls.
