Survived My First Bicycle Commute!
Hi People!
I'm Sami and I am a newb! I bought my first "real" bike yesterday...A Trek 7.2 FX Women's Fitness Bike. Anyone have experience with these?
Today was my first commute by bike (I live in the L.A. area). I was a bit nervous about L.A. drivers, but most were pretty courteous. My commute is pretty short (5 miles each way) but I plan on taking the bike for longer rides once I get used to it.
I had an awesome commute and I'm totally hooked....it was so much better than driving. BUT my bum is totally sore! lol. Do I need a new saddle or is this normal for an out of shape newb like myself? I'm thinking I should give it a bit more time before I decide I hate the saddle, but the ride home was getting pretty uncomfortable.
Anyway, thanks for reading. I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
