But I bought one earlier one this afternoon, the Electra Townie 21 in a woman's model. According to the web site, it's a bike built for people who are trying to re-enter biking and are scared of bikes. That sums me up precisely! yay! congratulations, beeswing. i've been back on the bike for a couple of months now (after a five-year hiatus) and i'm so glad i've gotten back into it. it's done a lot for me, both physically and mentally, even in just this short period of time. i hope it all works out well for you and that you enjoy your return to cycling! |

How *did* you do that?! I promise that I didn't see your post until this very minute, and I'd never heard of the bike before today. But I bought one earlier one this afternoon, the Electra Townie 21 in a woman's model. According to the web site, it's a bike built for people who are trying to re-enter biking and are scared of bikes. That sums me up precisely! The bike shop where I bought it is giving my new bike a before-purchase inspection and setup, and I bring the bike home tomorrow. Thanks so much for the great suggestion and for the reassurance about this line of bikes. If I can relearn to bike at all, it will be on this bike. Now, I need a helmet. Yay bees! You'll be fine. I'll be right behind you - I'm going shopping tomorrow. Wish me luck? -- Walking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude! Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 |

: That sounds great to me. I bought me a bike this afternoon...it's an Electra Townie 21 with a step-through frame. Even so, I almost killed myself (okay, I fell off and slammed into a shop window...death was not truly imminent) trying it out. I think I can get the hang of biking again, though. I need training wheels! Too bad they don't make them for adults. Maybe next time ;-) http://www.waltscycle.com/trikes.htm -- Walking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude!

I didn't buy the bike (though tempted because I'd really like a road bike), but I did get a pair of rollerblades for $3. Now I just have to learn how to use them. Piece of cake. If I can do it, anyone can :-) http://home.midmaine.com/~snugbear/images/2nd_time.jpg I sure hope so. Cute pic Jenn |

Glad you found a bike. I saw it in another thread and it looks very comfortable. You'll be zipping in no time. It doesn't take too long to get back into biking. There's been a lot of posts recently about buying bikes - maybe we need to arrange a get together for some ridesg Ok, I'm ready for the ASD Rally!! http://home.midmaine.com/~snugbear/images/Bike2.jpg The shops had minimal used bikes - all men's and huge. This is the height of the tourist season. I'm so bad - I had to have one today s. I test road a cheaper bike but when I saw this one I knew I'd be a goner as soon as I rode it. It's very comfy and has lots of gears - lol. Is there some trick to remember which way to turn them? After supper I followed the routes of 2 of my favorite walks, one is 4.5 miles and the other 7.5 miles. It took me the same amount of time as walking the 4.5 mile route. Only one hill defeated me but because I shifted the wrong way. Now I need to see how many calories it burns. I know I want a mirror and it would be fun to have something that measures mileage. Any suggestions? I love it! -- Walking (and riding!) on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude! Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 |

Congrats on the bike! I have a great Cat's Eye bike computer on mine, it does distance, time, has an odometer & let's you know your average speed. It was approx $25. Jenn |
