okay, I'm home and tried getting on the bike again. There is no way this is right, I can hardly stay on standing still. My heel can't even reach the pedal when I'm sitting on the bike.

I think the guys at the LBS are assholes. Who would send me home on such a shitty fitting bike?! Part of me wants to refund the whole thing, because they're inattentive jerks who can't even spend 2 minutes to make sure a $2000 bikes fits properly. I almost fell, like, 4 times on the bike ride home but I thought it was just me, but no, I don't really think that anymore. SO MAD right now.


I wear the bandana under the helmet, I think the fuchsia/blue zebra print is pretty fabulous


close up of the above picture, cant get my heel on the pedal.



In this one you can see, I can get one foot on the ground with the tips of my toes, but not both. When I tried to stop on the road, I did the one-foot-lean-the-bike thing, but I almost dumped it out from under me a few times because the lean angle was too much.
