I have now figured out the gears and settings of my new bicycle and tomorrow will be Day 1. I’m going to record my progress on the blog (nothing like blogging to keep a person honest!) for 5 days.

have fun with it!
I am but still don’t have the gears right.
Oh, huzzah! Hooray! I’d missed the bicycle, but have been thinking of one for myself, and will follow your progress with interest. I always loved my bicycles. Now, the problem is traffic, but if I don’t mind confining myself a bit, I might be able to get back in the habit.
I went for my ride – oh I love this bike!
Good luck – keep your petal to the metal
Okay!
Julies, I await with baited breath these daily reports. By day 5 I want to hear how Gutsy is riding the handlebars as you paddle about. — BE SAFE Bill
Haha – I am getting a basket for him.
Great. Looking forward to hearing how you do. Just don,t overdo it.
Good advice!
Don’t fall off….
I’ll try not to!
As I recall you used to cycle from your parents place to Inna’s place everyday, no?
Well I was a few decades younger then – haha!
yes true, but I’m sure you can work up to it. 🙂
Wow! You figured out the gears? I ride my bike a lot, and I still don’t know what the gears do. I just keep moving them around until it’s easier to pedal.
I thought I’d figured out the gears until I went for my ride!
You need a spreadsheet to record average speed, calories consumed, height gained and lost, crashes, miles eaten etc etc. Good luck.
But I don’t want to get taller!
Good luck with the bicycling.
As you say nothing like a blog to keep you honest. In fact that’s the best way to get anything done. Just mention it on your blog and you’ll feel compelled to follow through (in case followers ask how it’s going).
Yes, now I have to do it!
please show us your helmet and bruises 🙂
Maybe the former!
Hope there aren’t too many gears to worry about…take care..Diane
It’s a bit confusing!
Good for you!
I need to get fit!
🙂
Go Julie! We’ll cheer you on! Margie
Ha – thanks Margie!
I learned to ride a two-wheeled bicycle in a village called Lochranza on the Isle of Arran, off the west of coast of Scotland. I was 4 years old. I still remember it. The road to my house was not tarred, as it was on the opposite of the loch, so I think it was quite an achievement
You’re good – I didn’t learn until I was 8. I love the picture you paint here.
Every time I see Gutsy, he’s more adorable. And now he’s going to have wheels? What a spoiled bird…but can’t blame you. You’ll make a great chauffeur.
