Brian's New Bike

A week and a half ago, Brian (aka Speed Racer), bought a new bike.  Here's an email from him telling of his first ride on it with his new clip-in shoes/pedals:

"I didn't get out much by the time I was all set at the shop.

They had to refit my odometer due to the one that I picked didn't fit.

Then the second one didn't fit either, ARG!  Anyway I did get out, but only for about 5 miles before it got dark.  And, yes, I did fall over. Twice.  Once for each foot while practicing getting the shoes unclipped. 

One great thing though is that the bike is so light that it doesn't hurt when it falls on you.  I just laughed when I fell, especially the first time because I unclipped my right foot and tipped over the left side!!  HA!  Luckily there were not too many people around.  I think that it was getting easier the more times I clipped in and unclipped, kind of like they had to get broken in a bit.  There are still more things for me to get used to but the bike felt good."

Congrats, Brian.  It's always good to have a new bike.  Now that you have a road bike, we'll never see you again.
