So I bought a bike!

Very sleek and sassy!
If it felt good after 26 miles right off the bat, that's a good sign!

Wow!!! It was just a couple weeks ago that you were saying you couldn't justify buying a bike. So happy for you! Enjoy, fellow vegan!

I have not named her yet... I need to get to know her a little first.

Yes, it is the bontrager saddle that comes with it. It is quite soft and I wasnt sure that would work for me since I prefer a firmer horseback riding saddle. My sit bones are very well supported with no interference to my thighs.

BF and I rode 20 miles yesterday and I had no pain between my shoulder blades and nothing from my knees. I had a total squee when I hit 37.5 mph on a downhill that I previously maxed at 33mph.

My legs were sore after the sat ride as if I had used different muscles than before but I dont see that as a bad thing.
