In my customary display of caution…
…realized I should buy that’s bike to get used to it before using it for commuting, so I went to a bike shop, picked out one, took it for a lap or two around the parking lot, then rode it home…
…6 km…
…in rush hour…
…almost all uphill…
…having not ridden a bike in over 18 years…
…having never owned a bike with gears or hand brakes.
Did I mention that yesterday was squat day with the free weights?
That was probably ill-advised. But the good news is my new office commute is about half that distance, and over level ground, so it shouldn’t be too bad if I can do this. Of course, now my legs are on fire, but that’ll pass. I’m gonna feel that in the morning though.
