New Wheels

Purchased on a whim Saturday (July 1st)
Miles ridden so far: about 50
A few things that have surprised me
1. I haven’t been on a bike since I was about 15– Remarkably the saying is true and I didn’t forget how.
2. I am faster than the bus (usually).
3. My neighborhood seems bigger.
4. This is a lot more fun than I remember it being.
I’m seeing some long bike rides in my future.
I remember realizing almost exactly those four things when I bought mine last year. The fact that it’s not terribly difficult to outrace the bus was particularly startling to me. I expected to be able to do it…I didn’t expect it would be so easy to do.
