Pimp My Ride

After much research I finally decided on purchasing this bike from www.nycewheels.com. I live close to a lot of things but can't really walk far. My long hikes (8 blocks) while enjoyable at the moment turn into a fiery hip pain at night that needs a double on the rocks (lingo for double tylenol with ice water).

I worried if I could get my leg over and onto this bike even though it is really low to the ground and I just barely can get on with this one. Then since my right foot turns out, my foot kept slipping off the pedal (not good at all). I was a little dismayed until my trainer turned me on to Brian Spears at Advanced Welding in Mountain View. Brian and his crew fashioned me an extended pedal type thing so my foot doesn't fall off so easy and I don't have to risk my life every time I ride. Thanks, Brian!

A big shout out goes to all the messenger boyz in NYC who encouraged me to go for it and try to bike again.

Another big shout out goes to Bert of NYC eWheels who put up with my constant questions about anything and everything concerning ebikes.

Above all, thanks to my husband, Joseph, for letting me shake up his nerves once again with my never ending risky adventures and for making me take all the safety precautions I really should.

Thanks, Guys!
