I am not good at biking. Nor do I prefer it to running. But it sure is fun and I am getting the hang of things. WAY better than the damn dinosaur eliptical in my basement. Went for another (very) easy 12.5 miler tonight with my friend, Amy. Lo and behold, the old heinie was feeling much better post-bike PLUS I got to hang with my friend for a while. I'll take it! I did have to get a dorky mirror to affix to my helmet though as I am deaf as a doornail and cars coming up quickly on me on back country roads is way too conducive to a heart attack.
Decided to name the bike Jay. Cuz its blue and for some unknown (and highly annoying) reason, after 7 or so miles it starts chirping like a nest of birds. Need to call Trek to figure it out. It definitely has to do with the pedals as it coincides. It lasts a couple miles then stops. Both times it happened after big uphills/downhills and lots of shifting. Tonight specifically it happened after a big hill - I shifted and it felt like it went 2 gears instead of one.
Heh. Running is so much more lo-tech. Thank God I don't chirp mid run. Wouldn't be as amusing or, well, tolerable. :D
