Nope not a car, but it will get me around. My dear life long friends Sue and Jim offered me this bike and I accepted. I picked it up yesterday. My former Rock Hopper was a mans frame and I no longer felt competent on it. On this one Sue lowered the seat and so now I can safely, plant both feet on the ground while sitting. A feature that makes me feel safer. I don’t get a good leg extension with the seat that low , but the ability to reach the ground trumps a comfortable cadence, in my opinion. Sue rode home along with me. It was just the right distance (2.6 km) to get re-acquainted with a new bike and city streets. We identified some routes that can get me to the house on Frontenac St. (for gardening) that are less busy and where I would feel safer riding. I will pick up in the next few days a lock and basket. I will also pick up a big bike hook so that we can hang it in our storage room and not have it in the guest room. I’m excited to have this mode of transportation, it will give me more freedom to check on the garden when I want and be quick. It will give me more flexibility when Al has his hospital stay. I look forward to the exercise also.
