nsv!!rode a bike after 25 yrs and bought a new one!

So excited, I made a poster board with the new me bucket list on it....I've been able to cross a few items off and it hasn't even been 3 mnths since surgery! 

I got in a bounce house, rode a Harley and now a bike!

I'm not sure how to include photos but it's a purple beach cruiser..so cute!!:)

Good for you SweetShae!  You are doing great! What wonderful NSVs!  

Love the idea of a purple beach cruiser, one because I love purple and two because you can ride it on a beach!  Yahoo!

Keep up the great work!

This is awesome!  I hope to ride a bike again someday too, you've inspired me to add this to my goals list.  :D

I bought a new bike at age. 60 it's my addiction

Thank you all very much!  I live at the beach so its been fun .. today im surprising my two kids with new bikes and helmets, AND my two sisters joined in as well.. we all are now going to be riding together ! yay! 

I started doing a ton of cycling after surgery, it's SO much fun!! High five to you!

If you haven't yet, I'd suggest picking up an app like MapMyRide for your phone. You can run it while you ride (keep your phone stashed in a bag on your bike) and it'll track your route, speed, elevation, and all that jazz. It's SUPER motivating to watch yourself ride longer distances and up your average speed!

I'll warn you, though, it can get addictive! You can buy all sorts of nifty bike gadgets and accessories, learn to do your own repairs, and look for local bike events. There are often major rides/races that will have segments of different lengths for cyclists of all levels. My parents ride an event where the "main" route is 80 miles, but they also have a 25-mile segment. I rode in one last year that was 104 mi for the full loop, but I did 40 miles-- they had 11, 40, 65, 85, and 104 segments. SUPER fun, and awesome exercise and sunshine!!

Awesomeness!!! Congratulations!!!

This is so great... now I want to ride a bike again!!! I even googled beach cruisers!  LOL
