Picked up my bike today!! It is so SWEET!! It is a great ride. I live in a town where there are lakes everywhere and they have bike lanes around pretty much most of the lakes. So I went riding lake to lake and it was a great sunny day here in FL. It is so funny when i was reading the posts before i got my bike, i think it was bikerhen or cosairmac that said they had bugs in their teeth from smiling so much! I had to laugh today while i was riding because i caught myself doing the same thing...aside from eating the bugs!! But i was, smiling like a little kid that just got a new puppy! I got up to 18mph, I thought i was flying until two guys blew past me...but i will eventually catch up to them. They were very nice, waved, with thumbs up. I guess they could tell i was a newbie! I will venture out tomorrow, I cant wait, it really is awesome.
