I bought a second bike!

When I first started cycling in March, I looked at the REI Co-Op bikes. But I hadn't ridden a bike in 20+ years and felt a little in over my head. Instead, I bought a used Electra Townie (a cruiser style bike that I grew up riding) and have been riding that for 2 months.

Now, REI is having a sale so I went by this morning to check it out. I test rode the Cty 1.1 hybrid bike. It was super nice, much lighter and faster than my other bike. So I ordered it in my size and favorite color (blue).

I'm currently riding 10 to 15 miles each morning on my Townie, and hoping to expand that to 15 to 20 miles, with the new bike. I'm so excited!
