We picked up (future) Dr. J's new bike this afternoon from Performance Bikes. Not 2 hours later, it already has 7 miles on it. What a start. We rode on Sligo Creek Parkway the whole way, which is nice and flat. Saw some interesting houses...one looked like a domesticated star destroyer with sharp contrasting lines and some prismatic windows. We also saw some kids learning to ride bikes with their parents running along side. It was hard to tell if the parents were protecting their kids or they were protecting the rest of us. We had a fun time and the weather was great. I'm looking forward to our next ride.
(Future) Dr. J's new ride
The second part to this story is that we currently have FIVE bikes. In a previous post, I noted that (future) Dr. J's limit on the number of bikes in our house is THREE. With her new Schwinn Searcher, we are now 2 bikes over the line. And I'm happy to report that of those 2 bikes, we are each 1 over.
Bikes #1, #2, & #3. Eventually, the two on the left will go.
Bikes #4 & #5. These both stay.
Impressive -- 7 miles already? How flat is flat? I've ridden flat trails only to find there are little hills that look like mountains to me! And, of course, every thing here is mountainous as you well know!
ReplyDeleteWho knew she had that old pink bike....
As flat as the creek. The biggest hills are speed bumps.
ReplyDeleteTwo big thumbs up. Great to hear! You couldn't've picked a nicer day...
