Which started out crappy. So I think I mentioned I bought this new bike. Well, it’s mostly been cold and crappy here, so I haven’t been out too much to ride it yet. Today, though, was gorgeous out. So I decided to have a go. Up the West Side Highway to the GW Bridge, and back. 12-13 miles or so. Not bad. Just to test it out. Works beautifully. Really nice action on the pedals, I’m learning how to get in and out of the pedal locks on the shoes, etc… It’s good. Until I get a flat. On 135th Street and the Hudson River.
