Rebecca Brown from Annandale

I'm getting back on a bicycle at 60 after not riding for years. I've had an Atala in NYC in the 1970s, a Fuji and then an Eisentraut with Fuji parts in the 1980s in Charlotte, NC, and a Specialized hybrid that I didn't like the handlebars of in Philadelphia (didn't ride much there). I'm now getting set up with a Novara Safari with Shimano double sided pedals and live relatively close to the W&OD trail and quite close to the Fairfax Cross County Trail.

Welcome to BF. Glad to hear you got back to riding while you're still a kid. (I'm just a kid of 63 )

Safari for old women

Yes, I've had it for two weeks now. Need to drop some weight before I'm comfortable on it, so me and my little dog have upped the walking mileage.

My dog

He's a Border Terrier. A bit older now than when this picture was taken.

He's been trying to nail chipmunks.

I'm planning eventually to get him a bike trailer.
