Bahahahahaha! Sorry, I had to laugh.

When I first showed up here I was all excited about finding a woman-friendly forum, having come over from a male-dominated forum that shall remain nameless, but suffice to say they were a less-than-supportive group. I introduced myself here and someone asked what kind of bike I rode. My answer: "Um...purple."

Seriously. I knew NOTHING about cycling other than how to get on and pedal. I've learned a lot here. You will, too. And I daresay your granddaughter will, as well. Lots of us have kids who ride, too.

By the by, my bike then was a Palomar GT mountain bike, which currently hangs in the stable in the garage. The bike I ride now is a little Specialized Ruby Comp I've named Sparrow because she's light, fast, and fierce.

You'll love it here. Welcome.
