Bike Season

A few years ago, DH and I bought bicycles, as we lived near the great bike paths of Santa Barbara.   Apparently, we bought the wrong type of bike.  They're mountain bikes, but weren't great on paved paths and roads.  So we switched out the tires, and then the handlebars.

Well, it's just not working for me.  My stepdaughter just got a new Trek bike, so I borrowed it for a test ride, and fell madly in love with it.  It's just like riding when I was a kid... work, but FUN!  So, DH and I are going to attempt to sell our great, but wrong, bikes, and buy ones like my stepdaughters. 

So, the moral of the story?  Test ride the bike FIRST, before investing big bucks!  It saves years of fine-tuning, and sore body parts.  :)
