Have fun!
Many thanks! We took a 3 mile ride this morning. Although our legs are like noodles right now, it was easier today. We're in the Irving/Las Colinas area of town, which has some fairly steep hills for beginning riders (at least WE think so!). The low gearing of our new bike is nice for the hills, but it's still quite a workout for us.
I've been to Richardson Bike Mart several times. They're great over there. Very helpful. I plan on heading out there to get some lights, bottle holders, and possibly a speedometer/odometer. Mostly interested in the odometer function so we can gauge how our rides progress over time. Can you recommend a good unit for the latter? I noted the forks on the bike are a fair distance from the wheel spokes, so I'm not sure how the pickup could be arranged.
