    You chose another lovely bike. The blue is certainly less flashy. Yes, you are right, you should be smiling and very excited about your new bike with no
    2nd guessing.

    Enjoy! and lots of luck and happy riding miles especially in Belize

    Meet Flor!

    Finally got her out to verify the saddle height and setback late today, just for a quick little jaunt around the parking lot. The good:

    1. She weighs 5 lbs. less than the pink Schwinn. Yes, I said FIVE lbs! That's huge.
    2. The saddle has really long rails so I can have it all the way back as I need for my proportions to get the proper knee-over-pedal-spindle position. The Schwinn had really short little rails.
    3. She's just plain fun to ride! I love this little bike - riding a single-speed, coaster-brake cruiser is truly like being a kid again.





    Took the pink bike back to Performance yesterday, and they were fine about the return. I did lose $31 in oversize shipping charges, which is not refunded. That's really my only complaint -- REI doesn't charge anything for shipping if you ship items to the store, but Performance does. Other than that, they were helpful and fine to deal with for the entire transaction.

    I like how your top coordinates with your new bike.
    It looks more "you" than the pink.

    Cool bike.

    May I ask where on Ambergris Caye your condo is? I've been there four or five times and love it also. We looked at real estate the last time, but couldn't find a place that would accommodate the extended family comfortably at a reasonable price.

    I'm jealous!

    This one is really cool too!!! And it looks great on you. I did really like the cup holder on the pink bike though: It looks like a fun bike.

    Thanks - I agree. I wear a lot more blue than pink anyway.
