I hope that the newbies shopping for their first bike take note:

So what does that work out to per mile?

Like I said elsewhere, I couldn't bear riding my toy bike, but kept it around, "for when I stopped being lazy." Her pedals were replaced twice in that time (the store exchanged them, cuz I coudn't find replacements, They weren't standard sized bolts ) I bought a 10 year old used Schwinn, and rode like the wind my first time out. Her owner had forced her on me one weekend, "Just try it out!"

I am so glad you have a new bike. I am sure that you made an excellent choice, because this forum is just the greatest place for advice

I wish you many marvelous miles with her.

Take your time finding a name, she will be special and deserves a good one.

Hey Gals! Maybe we need a new thread with baby names?
Like those itty bitty books at the supermarket checkout?
