I have a new bike!!! Because BabyG said my old one was "dorky".
And he doesn't like being seen with me. I love my old beach cruiser...

So I have two bikes, my favorite bike and then the has speeds that I don't know what to do with, Huffy, blue with racing stripes and a little bag to hold...well...stuff...and one of those seats that makes your behind hurt for when I go out with him.

Yay.

1. You can get a more comfortable seat for a reasonable price

2. I know! I want the one with the gel in it...
If I could get one with a high backed chair, we'd be in business. :)

10. I got one of the gel ones. Made a big difference! It's weird, though. When I
was a kid I was thin and had a regular 10 speed and never had a sore bum. Now I have an extremely well-padded bum and I can't handle anything but puffiest fluffiest bike seat around.

What's up with that? :shrug:

4. Me too! I figure I'll use the cruiser when he is at school in the mornings
and then will do our evening ride on the new one. Twice the exercise can't be all that bad. :)

6. This is my favorite bike

Iza got it for me a couple years ago -- it is sort of cruiser-ish and very pretty. :D

Two bike rides a day, you will be in great shape! :)

5. Geez, around here the beach cruiser is the cool bike
My 21 speed mountain bike is seen as dorky.
