I started something new a few months ago. I choose a hero every day. Not always someone famous, not always a human! That feller will be my hero tomorrow. (Today was Maya Angelou, she just turned 80, shine on Ms. Maya!)

Hi NancyBug! I just wanted to tell you how you are an inspiration for ladies everywhere who shy away from cycling because they think they have to be a greyhound to enjoy it. I hope you find the perfect bike and will soon enjoy the benefits of spinning those wheels down a back country road. I am very proud of you!

I live in one of those humid, muggy, and hot states and I can tell you that having the right clothing will make a big difference in your cycling enjoyment. My husband and I both like to wear Under Armor shirts that are available in summer and winter weight fabrics. The t-shirts really do help wick and transfer moisture from the skin so you'll stay cool as a cucumber as you pedal those miles away. Since the ladies tops run a little small, you might want to consider the men's sizes. TE also offers extended sizes in clothing and they have great sales too!

When you get your bike, please be sure and post lots of pics. We love meeting gals who's lives have been transformed on two wheels. Good luck and enjoy the cycling season.
