new bike

i finally have a bike of my very own to love and ride all over portland! i rode it yesterday and it felt amazing. it's the right weight and it fits me. it takes the hills easily and it's just a little squirrelly but i like that. it's like riding a hyper little horse - it feels like it can't wait to zoom ahead and get moving. i couldn't stop looking at it when it was parked yesterday. i know, it's silly but i really like the way it looks. when the sun hits the purple it has this blue sheen to it and sparkles. it's pretty. the only things i want to change are the pedals because they are awful and are not comfortable. another thing is possibly the seat. it is a good seat but it was hurting my lady parts. it might have been the seat position. i adjusted the seat and it feels better but i won't know for sure until i go on another ride. which will be later today after brunch. :)

update: it was the seat position. moving it forward helped. i no longer have to sing "rub a dub dub, something's squishing my nub." it was not comfortable! and a little painful. it's much better now. my lower back feels better too.
