I Got A Bike!!!

Christmas came early last night when my husband and I went into Houston and came home with a bicycle!  It's beautiful!!!  It's an Electra Townie and it's green.  Before we left the store, I had a water bottle holder installed and a BELL!!!

So I haven't been on a bike in 25 years.  I remember riding a bike in 6th grade but never again since then.  I was so scared!  I wouldn't try it out at the store.  I was scared and a bit embarrassed too.   I at least climbed on and made sure it was the right height, but if I was gonna fall off I sure as heck was gonna do it at my house and not in front of all of Houston.

So we got home and at 11pm I got on and...it was like riding a bike...you don't forget!  I haven't fallen yet!  I got up this morning and went around the block.  It's a little over a mile.  Then after church I went around the block again.  And then again this evening I went around the block again.  I'm sure my neighbors are wondering why this crazy person keeps going by their house.

I think this was the kick in the pants I needed.

Congratulations!  Sounds like all you need now is a Princess basket on the handlebars! 

Maybe we'll get some sunshine again soon.  Happy riding!
