I bought it at Pacific Bicycles in SF. They're near work and I've gotten to know the guys in there a bit. Getting the bike adjusted in the future might be a pain, I suppose, but for whatever reason the salesperson at the local store had me on a bigger frame. He didn't seem interested in my comments on feeling really stretched out, and I got more of a "warm & fuzzy" from PB.

Anyway, I admit my ankles might not be very strong or flexible. I had more trouble with the original, which was a "wellgo". The Shimano seemed better. Thanks for advice on trying this while riding. I fell down once already, in the parking lot of the store, in front of the salesperson. I can stand the embarrassment, but hitting the pavement is something I'd like to avoid. There's a big park with lots of grass nearby, so I think I'll take my little cleat-shoes over there and give it a go. Maybe if I strategically place some gardening knee-pads on my arms and legs, I'll be more brave. Now that will be a fine look!

I'm still feeling real dork-like on this bike, and I'll be a slow poke for a while. But it would be great to have people to ride with.

And... I don't know what WSG means.

thanks,
Amy
