There are many types of bike riding, there is…
This type of riding.
this type
or maybe
this type
And most definitely,
This type!
HA! Yep, you guessed it! That is naked bike riding…
I didn’t do any of those types of biking last week, but I did take out Shelly’s K2 for a spin and learned a few lessons about Road Biking.
Got to the bike path around 5:30am and quickly realized that the bike seat height is different from what I am used too. It took me a few minutes but then I was able to do a running quick step,step,step – HOP up and get on, start, and was on my way.
First things first, check how the gears work! But I didn’t realize that the brakes act as gear shifter too, DUH, and I rode in only one gear the whole time swearing up and down the bike was broke. But it wasn’t. Just the old kick in the tush user error! Thank you to Downingtown Bike Shop for setting me straight and getting me back out on the bike path faster.
Ended the ride well, but not tired at all. I need to find a different longer trail with less down hill! At least I didn’t do this!
FALL!
Do you have riding tips for me for my next ride?

Do you think that your bike seat needs to come down a bit? The more you ride the more comfortable you will be. 🙂 Are you using clip in pedals?
Well the guy at the bike shop said he could take it down a half a notch but thought I would be in to change it back in a little while. When Shelly lent me the bike it had clips but I was nervous about that so I switch to pedals. If I really enjoy the event I’ll buy my own bike and do clips.
