And yes, please try and ride on the road. It's so much better then on the sidewalk.


I am excited about continuing and I am sure that it will get easier, I will have to work on the road thing. I agree it feels a lot better. Soooo smooth compared to the sidewalk. I can only imagine what a quality bike would feel like. But that is for the future.

Here is my question ladies: What are the risks of riding on the sidewalk? Someone responded saying it was more dangerous but i had a difficult time searching the forums. Trust me, I am all for safety. My outfit was so bright that i looked like the 80's threw up on me and i had reflectors and lights flashing, just in case, so, I would just like to know the pros and cons of road/ sidewalk cycling (besides the obvious cars.) Thanks girls!
