Little Red Bike...
I got a cute red bike for Christmas from my wonderful husband. I was in a somewhat dream like state when I pictured myself in perfect sunshine and 70 degrees on my way to work on my red bike. Well, who has time to wait around for sunny and 70 in Portland? Not ME! Yesterday I got the bike out and hopped on and headed to work. Here is a little of what I experienced...
35 degrees with wind in my face
frozen snot
no sunglasses resulting in the left eye crying the entire way
4.5 miles up hill
knee cramps from not adjusting the seat properly
a gag every now and then becasue I didn't know how to work my new helmet
stopping traffic because the bike lane disappeared
But...I made it! It may be a while before I hop on the bike again but when that day comes I know a few things to fix before I jump on so eagerly.
