I've been on an off waffling about getting one for YEARS, but when I was in boston i knew too many people who got hit by cars and the bike lanes were sketchy at best

in philly I live right near the river and theres like, 100+ miles of maintained path along the river that I love walking so I thought maybe I would finally take up some leisurely cycling

I took it for a test ride and I was a LITTLE unconfident but I rode a LOT as a child/teen so it did not feel unnatural

just need a little getting the hang of the bike itself

Excited to have a bike for the first time actually like....built and adjusted to my height/ proportions LMAO

Ahhh exciting!!

ALSO VERY LUCKY that I have a step dad who is big cyclist so I was able to bring him to help navigate because I did not know what to ask/what to look for/what anything meant

can u put a cute lil flower basket on

I CANNOT, it's not that kind of bike unfortunately u_u

the two wolves of functional hybrid bike versus actually super cute city bike

NICE

I hope you have smooth roads around... that's always the barrier to biking for me

I will NOT be riding this bike around, say my neighborhood which is STEEP, NARROW and has notoriously bad traffic

LOL FAIR

the manayunk wall is a couple blocks away from my house, a nationally famous difficult hill

house is on a street like this

oh that's wonderful! have fun with biking again! glad stepdad was a good guide into getting a bike that fits and works for you

cerebrah: uhhh. semi? the river trail is like half paved, half gravel, with some boardwalk. it can get a little rough and tumble but I got tired and shocks that can handle it

TIRES

jesus I need a plurk coin I cant type

omg this sounds amazing

I'm very excited

it's not actually in until later this week and they still need to build it and then I can go in for adjustments so in the meantime I'm just like CANT WAIT.....

ahhh awesome!

biking is so much fun

Ohhhh that’s so exciting 😭
