But I got the hang of it quickly. It was at the beach before it got crowded, so riding in the street wasn't an issue. And we rode without helmets! So daring, am I.<br />ClaudiaMy Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17661291354573889109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036420478669555429.post-36189741382096966872012-09-01T17:25:07.446-04:002012-09-01T17:25:07.446-04:00The hubs is mad about cycling whereas I'm alwa...The hubs is mad about cycling whereas I'm always a nervous wreck when I'm on top of one.

At first I think I was cycling slower than some pedestrians walk, but now I'm decent enough. So I'm sure very soon you will be queen of the NY streets.

I hope it works out great for you! I started off in 2008 getting a bike assuming I'd just ride it around on weekends here and there, and it's led to my wife and I both getting bikes and selling our car. Of course, that doesn't mean that everyone has to ride their bike everywhere, and Portland is a lot different than NYC, but it can really be a great way to get around for certain things. Just enough faster than walking to be more convenient, without being so fast that it's stressful (I find driving a bit stressful). Just take it easy to begin with, and don't give yourself expectations of being a 'hardcore' cyclist - do what you're comfortable with. Get off and walk if you need to. It's just a tool to get you somewhere, and if it's not the best tool all the time, that's fine :)<br /><br />Happy riding!Dave Feuchthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06103790541088515008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036420478669555429.post-47863965132748412752012-08-29T10:12:24.627-04:002012-08-29T10:12:24.627-04:00Aww...I love white coloured bikes and it has a bas...Aww...I love white coloured bikes and it has a basket?

You don't want your bike to be too small or else you'll ruin your knees -- your legs should fully extend when you down-pedal.<br /><br />I gotta say, though... You have WAY more guts than me. I won't even ride my bike in downtown Portland!

There are so many great trails around us, I want to properly take advantage of them. The bikers in Portland are CRAZY. Like, seriously diehard about biking. Like you, I'm a bit too timid for city biking.
