Well, I finally got my new TREK 2.1 out of layaway Sunday. I should be so happy ,but I'm not. It feels so foreign to me. Clip less pedals........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh What was I thinking. Its not a good feeling to be locked into your bike. I only took it out for 5 minutes ,and tried going straight up a steep hill. I kept one foot out of the clip. The bike feels so light ,like it could tip over at any time. I haven't had time to ride it because by the time I get home from work its dark. I have no problem riding my hybrid in the dark. Now the gears....I get confused as to what makes me go fast ,or slow. Is there a easy way to remember. Did anyone else ever feel this way when going from a hybrid to a road bike ,and will I adjust.
I haven't taken any pictures because I don't like the bike too much. Will I ever learn to ride it. I feel wobbly on it. My TE friend Darcy and I are going to a State Park on Saturday to ride where its safe. She bought a TREK 5.2 ,and she is still learning. She said she felt the same way I did 3 months ago when she bought hers.
