Bike Part 2

[jethead]

I bought a bike. Well, Jess bought me a bike as an early birthday gift. I'm NOT a cheap date, but had no problem giving up a brand new lower end bike for a slightly used higher end model. It's a big bike - 58cm - original owner was 6'2," he only rode it a handful of times last season. He broke up with his girlfriend (who sold me the bike) back

I thought about your hair too. :-( No way to avoid the flat look, man... I'm voting for a buzz cut. One less thing to worry about.

Congrats on the bike!!!

Congrats on getting your trusty steed!!!

If you don't have front & rear lights I recommend them (I ride w mine on even in daylight). Visibility is your friend!

And yeah, get a brain bucket for sure. You can always throw a stylish hat in your backpack for when you disembark ;)

A seatcover w/gel padding is a *must* for me on my bike--otherwise I get sciatica-ish pains after a week. I know you're more of a gossamer princess than I am, but I just thought I'd mention it :-)

i'll send some links your way next week. i'll be putting a Brooks B17 saddle on my commuter. how long they take to break in differs by person, one guys said they take about 5 minutes to break in. maybe it's just his ass, but they did not become legendary because they hurt.
