Right on tar! You've got a great attitude. It can be tough not being angry, car after car whizzing past you. But you know that you are fit and strong and saving money and doing your part to save the planet.
I am about to ride the Townie 21 700c back to the shop. Shifting was all whacked on the ride home last night, so I clamped in my stand in the garage and got it dialed in perfect. From home to the shop is almost all downhill or flat, so I am looking forward to seeing how fast this Townie can fly. It is a gorgeous sunny late Summer day, 56 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade and I off I go!
