Sounds like the fam just didn't want you to have an expensive impulse buy that sat in the garage. Welcome to the fold!
Dropping bowling because of a movement disorder conjures up bowling balls dropping on toes....
45 miles is a good goal :-)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what's on their minds. It's nice to be able to bring the "yeah, and y'all didn't think I'd really lose weight & keep it up when I joined a gym".

It's also just a good idea to build that relationship with the LBS and no better way than buying a bike (IF it's the right one of course!).

Ok, I officially bought Oscar...well...layaway-ed him, but he'll be out by June 1, sooner if I penny pinch. I've heard some people have haggled for lower pricing, but I was cool with the $600 price tag. Ended up talking to a different employee this time (LBS owner was at town hall mtg that APPROVED HIKE & BIKE trails!!) and this employee asked if Owner had given me any other price than what was listed. I said nope-an evil/smarter person may have made up a number- so the employee smiled & ended up throwing in the fix kit bag,water bottle & bottle carriage free.
Yeah me, I'm a bike owner!
