Bike to work Week

[BarbaraAlys]

I rode my new bike to work yesterday. I have put less than 50 miles on it, so I'm still figuring out the fit, but it is SOOOOO much better than my old ride (which was a used Trek 1200 from about 1999; the rear hub is shot, and it is not really the right size for me, but it got me going.)

My new bike is a trek 2.1 WSD, I am trying to attach a pic, but I'm not sure it's going to work. The pic is off of the Trek site; I have put a black seat and handle bar tape on mine.

I met up with a man who works where I do who rides to work every day. He offered to guide me in on Ride to Work day. The ride was challenging, longer than I had thought (14 miles going, 16 returning, we took a different route back), and you would not believe how hilly Fort Worth is! I still stink at hills.

Anyway, I would like to be able to ride to work more often, but I have to get better at hills, and my head light is not really bright enough for night riding (I have to be at my desk by 6:30AM, so the ride to work is in the dark).
