I actually do remember that. I was a terror on a Big Wheel. I'm hoping to rediscover that sense of gleeful freedom

No problem on the helmet and gloves; I'm a safety freak, so those are lined up and ready to go. I actually have a pair of chamoised (is that a word?) bike shorts, courtesy of the Blackbottoms sale, so I was looking for something to go over them for now. It's good that the stretchy pants might work while I continue to shop.

Syndirelah and Crankin, do you have any recommended brands that you or your friends wear? I'm thinking of checking out REI this weekend. I'll definitely look at knee warmers while I'm at it. I'm not too crazy about those chilly mornings either.

Thanks, everyone! This definitely gives me a place to start.
