Years ago when I first started riding as an adult I went through 3 and 1/2 Wally Mart bikes. I say 3 and a half because I used a 4th to keep 2 of the others going. Broken spokes, sheered teeth, bad brakes, bent axle's you name it I wore it out on the wally bikes. But through those bikes I learned I found something I loved to do.... Anyway.. the first time I test rode a real bike (my Fisher Tassajara) I thought I was going to go over the handle bars just riding, because your so far forward over the bars. Now I cant imagine it being any other way.. People that don't ride or have never ridden a quote unquote good bike ask all the time doesn't your back hurt riding like that? The truth is a lot of the time if my back is hurting.. riding will stretch it out and make it feel better.
Got my new bike shoes all set up... ready to test them out on the bike later. They are lighter and seem to have more support...
