Bikes and Bruises
So, yesterday I rode my bike for the first time. I've now discovered all of it's flaws (but considering I got it for free and delivered and can probably fix them isn't a big deal)! The seat won't stay up, so the whole time I was on it, my legs were kinda squished. Surprising, I know, since my legs are pretty short. I can't even imagine how Mark rode it! But hopefully Danny, another CA, will be able to help me fix that and my loose front wheel. I'm also pretty sure my bum is bruised. The seat is really really hard. Luckily, there is an abandoned bike right outside of my back door with a cushy seat cover which I will steal. It was still pretty fun riding a bike again. It's been so long that I'm still a little overly cautious. I slow down a lot on corners. And yes Dad, I wore my helmet.

I am glad you got on the bike and rode a little bit! The soreness will dissipate over time and we can fix the flaws with the bike. Thanks for wearing your helmet!
Dad
Good for you--getting on the bike again! I totally agree that the soreness will leave soon--especially if you continue riding. Even after just a week off the bike, I get "saddle sore" all over again!
Kudos for helmet wearing! : )
Hey, can I have the rest of the abandoned bike, or are you keeping it around just in case you need more parts? Eric is going to time himself on his bike to work one of these days and we'll be able to estimate how long it would take you to ride here.
Dude, I didn't know you had a blog! How have you been?
