alright, i guess ill just see how it goes for now, i get my bike on thursday, im going to take it for a test ride just to check it out, but i should be biking after that, ill get back to you on the weekend about how it feels and how my muscles are, and km/speed etc..
and ya it really does! even at 15 i know what your talking about, but you just got to take everyday and look for the positives and even if your life flies by, you atleast want to have a smile on your face. deep, i know.
thankyou.
