Haha yes I did
It's a Trek 7.3fx, which I'm sure many people here may be familiar with (as they suggested it 
), also the first non-mountain bike I've owned since my 10-speed at age 10 probably! I had also tried a Specialized, and looked at Marin's as well, but felt pretty at home as soon as I hopped on this (and confident it would handle me just fine). I think it will be perfect my needs of exercising and getting around town on something that is pretty quick, reliable, and in my price range. Well...maybe not quick yet, but one day I hope to give it a run for it's money, so to speak. I'm full of giddy feelings about my bike and biking all the time now.
Even though I've biked as a child, and to college and work a fair bit a few years ago this is the first time I've really had a sense of a really strong connection to biking...if that makes sense. When we're young they're so much a part of our lives that we may not have thought about them a lot, besides the feelings of fun and freedom it gave us, and buying a bike new from an actual bike shop after research and thinking about all these bike related factors, and the idea of having that freedom and fun again on my own two wheels is a feeling I'm not sure I've had before, and I like it!
I hope I'll get in shape again pretty quick and used to the busy streets so I can really get out there and both enjoy and take advantage of it.

Every day so far! They're small ones so far, but I tell myself I'm building up to bigger and better (and further) things.
