Just think how much time it would save if we could (safely) bike between attractions at Disney?
besides trying to find a spot in a bike rack....

As if there weren't enough complaints about the
scooter drivers! Can you imagine the threads on the incompetent bicycle riders.
LTS: I so enjoyed your first bike trip report and was hoping there would be pics to accompany this one as well.
I give you credit for pushing away your fears (and thoughts of death) in order to spend some aerobic time with your family. DH sounds like a great guy -- just enough push without being pushy. Why do I get the feeling we'll be hearing from you in about 6 months and you'll be telling us about some bike ride for charity you'll be participating in.
Since we were all riding no one was taking pictures. But just find the other report and look at those only me with a short sleeved shirt on. Really, one picture of my tush on a bike is pretty much the same as the next!
And I think in 6 months we will be lucky if I am posting that a)I am still riding this darn bike and b) that I have managed to make it around the entire neighborhood and not just the one block loop!
I am going to give my legs a rest and go to the pool tomorrow and try to walk/doggy paddle for a few minutes. I could try to get some pictures of that but that would mean posting photos of me in my swim suit and this is a family friendly site! I would have to give myself points for inappropriate material and scaring the children!
My sister call one Valentines Day and asks what going on. I'm like ugh the kids have been fighting non stop I have laundry up to my eyeballs and DH is putting new brakes on my car. She ask "Why is he trying to kill you?"
And that, my friends, is the definition of married. Happy Valentines Day Honey! I am getting you new brakes!
Try to make sure that you are tucking your pelvis in a little- you want to sit on your "sit bones" not put all your weight on your perineum (aka naughty bits
)
If your knees or hips hurt you need to make some seat adjustments
You do not have to be coordinated to take a spin class. You know that kid who was picked last for every team sport in elementary school? that was me -and I have been teaching spin for several years.
You just need to tell the instructor you are new -sit in the back and dont try to do everything the class is doing. Also -you may want to ask around the gym and find out if there is a psycho teacher -avoid that one until you are going regularly.
When I am sitting on the seat I am just concentrating on not falling off. No idea "where" I am sitting. I will try to figure that out next time. Based on the pain I have right now I am thinking I am putting all my weight on my tailbone!
I could never do aerobics. You needed to be coordinated. I was always running into the skinny chicks in spandex. In school I wasn't just the last one picked for games. I was the one left standing there that the coach/teacher would say "You HAVE to take her, she is the only one left
"--and that was when my friends were the team captains! I did manage to make it through 4 years of high school and never having gone up to bat for softball. My athletic friends would cover for me and tell the teacher I went last inning--"remember, she got out". Was completely plausible and the teacher always fell for it!
I will see how this riding around the block thing goes and then figure out where to go from there. Thanks for the encouragement
