a love affair begins.......

at last, I am on the road with my new bike! I love it and the weather has been awesome to ride. mid to upper 70's and sunny.

And there she is, I LOVE my new bike. (not a flattering photo of me though) It rides very smooth, and handles nice. Of course this is my first bike, and my 2nd day riding, but, for a beginner, I can say it handles easily. It is exactly what I wanted, to commute and have fun with.
My biggest problem thus far is making sure I always turn off my signal. It takes getting used to, since after turns, it doesn not shut of automatically like a car. The first day I just rode around the neighborhood and luckily, there really isnt much traffic on our side streets, so forgetting about the signal light didnt cause confusion to any drivers. But by the 2nd day, I only forgot it once.
