I was going to leave my shoes at work today but I forgot...go figure. I can leave stuff in the office but I work on the 5th floor and the gym (were the showers are) is on the first floor of a different building so it would only be feasible for me to leave things I don't need to get dressed like the shoes.

I bought a hybrid Trek bike (upright) and I did not have an issue in the morning but the backpack got bulky quickly and therefore uncomfortable (not to mention that it weighted around 15 pounds between my stuff and her bike lock (I attached mine to my bike).

Her seat is an Oval Concepts 300. The seat is less cushy than mine, and I believe her when she says it hurts because I've ridden her bike and it was not a trip I enjoyed. We wanted to get biking underwear to help us ride but she might need more time with her bike before deciding on any extra support.

On another note, she bought her bike about a year ago and they measured incorrectly. she can barely touch the floor with her tip toes (to my understanding you should be able to stand up over the frame tube without issue). Her seat is at the lowest position and it still about 1, 1.5 inch too tall for her. Is there any workaround for this?


Thank you again
