Walk'n 'n Bike'n
I just got the first bike I've had since I got my driver's license back in 1991-ish. I got a mountain bike because they're better for my back than my old standard of street bikes, and I like the idea of having something I can take on the trails--both paved and hiking--around here. Here's a picture, and I really like it. It also matches my silver/black helmet I just got from my dad. Now I just need a light for night riding and maybe some gloves, and I'll be set.
In other news, I hiked the 2 miles home last night, and then hiked back to get my car this afternoon. I'm very happy with my perseverance with my walk'n, and even more encouraged now that I have a bike.
Of course, upon arriving home, I HAD to try my new bike out, so I coasted down the hill I live on, with the intent of proving to myself that I can bike up the hill to my treehouse. And I did it without having to walk my bike up the hill, although I can't really feel my thighs right now and my walking is a little wobbly...
