Hi,
I've been a lurker for 6 months since I started biking in December. Started on my brother's 20+ year old rusted steel Schwinn when I was recovering from a running injury. At the end of January while riding 17 miles on the Schwinn, the chain fell off and then got stuck in 2 gears, my DH and I went and bought a Novara Carema at REI. I've been in love ever since.

The longest ride I've done to date is 55 miles. Over Memorial Day weekend I finally put on bike shoes. After getting comfortable clipping and unclipping with the left leg I, for some reason, decided to try my right leg and quickly fell over. When I rode with my running shoes, I've always put the left leg down so I don't know why I did that. DUH! But I got my first fall over with, yay!
