It's amazing the difference a bike can make. When I originally posted this, I'd tried out several bikes and I felt so unsteady on all. I was so frustrated. Then I went to Performance Bike and test rode a Scattante and it felt great right from the start. It was a great size for me and apparently whoever set it up set it up just for meI love it. I've become comfortable enough to cross the busy street outside my apartment complex on it, and even ride on some quieter roads. It's great!

My first ride required that I cross the busy street (aka highway) twice - going out and coming back. I even rode a few blocks on the highway (glad it was 4 lane) to get home.

A victory was that I was able to clip in and out successfully and start/stop the bike without issue. One of my "challenges" was to learn to ride a bike whereon my butt was on the saddle without my feet touching the ground at the same time.200x Electra Townie 24D/Brooks B67
