I want to ride my bicycle!

I got a bike about two weeks ago, and only today had the chance to really take it out. It's gorgeous. Sunny. 80 degrees. And I get outside, take it for a little test-spin around the parking lot, and I discover that the highest gear won't "catch" (not sure if that's the right term for it). It keeps trying to shift, but it can't, for whatever reason. All the other gears seem to work just fine.

Not to mention that I think the salesman sold me the wrong size bike. I never actually bought a bike myself before, so I was trusting that the salesman knew what he was talking about. Well, when I ride and go to make a turn, my sneaker rubs against the tire. I'm pretty sure that shouldn't happen.

So now I have to call the place, and hope this can be taken care of without a big hassle. =\

Also, I'm pretty sure I'll be taking up rock climbing. I took the first of a three-part class on Monday and had a really good time. I hope I can meet someone to climb with, so I don't always have to use the auto belay machines.

Yay for new hobbies!
