Floridaboy,

What type of bike do you have? I have been "eyeing" bikes, but am not sure what to get. I dont know where I would ride if I had to ride for an hour! My subdivision takes about 10 minutes to ride through and the major blvd I would have to pull out on is daunting. I wish I had bike trails close by. I do have the beach (I live in Florida too), but by the time I load the bike up, go to the beach, ride for an hour, come home.... when would I get anything done?

I was curious if you have a "cyclist" bike or a mountain bike, or a beach cruiser...

Hi LVT25,

I do agree i enjoy taking my bike out for a ride.
But Just dont do what i did yesterday try to go up the kerb sideways and fell over.
I think i need to take up BMX lessons, learn how to pull that handle bar up. before i go up that kerb.
P.s Good for the kneees as well.

Enjoy your bike ride.

Love
Teardrop.x

If this wind ever quits blowing 40 mph I will get that bike out. I guess I'll have to go to the fitness center until the weather straightens out!

Thanks for all the advice and support!

LVT25 - good for you!!!! I went to the gym yesterday and did a little over 7 miles!!! Unfortunately I don't have a 'real' bike to ride but i should go out and get one, that way i can bike to the gym and save on gas and get exercise as well.......lol about the fingers!!! i think that might go for a lot of us

Don't let a little wind bother you Dorothy. You have to find Toto.

I have a couple of bicycles that are semi/specialzed. I ride a lot and have always been a bike nut. A good place to look for bikes is your local Craig's list. A single speed beach cruiser or multigear 'comfort bike' would be a good choice. Just be sure it is the right size and fits you. PM me if you like.
