nice ride in. my knee started to hurt about halfway in, hope this is not a sign of things to come. I coasted a lot and it got better. first trip with my red-haired troll doll strapped to the bars. it's hard not to have a smile on your face when you're looking down at a troll doll. a west indian man sold it to me at a swap meet, and said he had special powers. the troll bike god guards against flats and other bike malfunctions. so far he seems to be working. hey, he even cured my knee! the bike troll is mighty.
