Post by fwiffo »

Went shopping today. Too bad it was raining; didn't really get to break it in much.

Yes, the lock is the coil you see hanging from the handlebars. The old bike had a lock too, though...

Yeah, I wanted the blue too, but the shop didn't have any in stock for both the right model and frame size. The white has grown on me though. BTW, if anyone is ever in the Fort Myers area and needs to buy or rent a bike, get accessories or have a bike serviced, I must recommend The Bike Route. I've bought a couple bikes there now, and had them serviced and they're always speedy and professional. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate about bikes but still patient with beginners.
