so i finally got my new bike. it's a Ladies Schwinn 700C Hybrid, and I love it. even with the tires not fully pumped, it's a smooth ride.
i'm still quite a bit shaken up from my last ride TO school with the mountain bike i bought from Craigslist - it was so traumatic. it took me 1.5 hours to get to Bop's side of town and she had to drive me to school w/that bike the rest of the way. then it took me almost 2 hours to ride home in that bike. i had no lights, just reflectors... i gave up the helmet in her car. i was freaked out.
so this past thursday, i was dropped off at school with my bike and i rode home. it was lovely and exhilarating, the way it's supposed to be. it took me less than an hour to get home. but i was too tired to ride TO school again (in addition to the traumatic experience riding TO school the last time) so i gave it a rest.
when the weather is nice again (it's supposed to be gross for the next week), i'll man up and ride one day. maybe i'll give myself a full 2 hours this time, just in case :)
