Strange encounter with Mom's bike...

Had a strange encounter with my Mom's bike yesterday.  I bought a simple cyclecomputer to put on there for her, so when she cruises around her neighborhood she can see how far she's gone.  I installed it and then got on to take it for a spin to make sure it worked okay.  As soon as I put my right foot on the pedal and tried to take off, I got a surprise.  It's a single speed, back pedal brake bike.  Guess that's why there's no brakes on those big old cruiser handlebars... duh!  Whoa!  Haven't ridden one of these since I was a kid!  Ha ha!  Slight adjustment, and then I took off down the street.  It was actually quite fun!  Except that Mom's quite a bit shorter than I am, so after just one little lap around the block my legs were telling me that this was not the optimal position for them to be in.  LOL!

BTW, while I installed the cyclecomputer and my Dad watched, I asked him that all important question... do you two wear helmets when you ride?  He responded... no.  I just gave him a look that said... the tables were turned, on this issue I know best, and that was NOT the appropriate response!

Back in the saddle...

Been good so far this week, getting back in a groove.  Riding the indoor trainer and enjoying it.  Also, did some weights and ab work.
