With temps in the 80's tomorrow I think it will be a perfect day for me to take my shiney new canal bike for its maiden voyage/shakedown run! I spent yesterday completing my additions to the bike and now she is ready! I will be tossing some plugs too while I am there....why not its gonna be a beauty!!:uhuh:

That was a great ride! Beautiful morning too! Rode all 7 miles of the mainland side which is a total of 14 miles.....not bad for the first day out! I am however going to feel it later!!!:rolleyes: Sure is gonna be nice once the fish arrive! I took pics but my computer is down and I am using my wifes so no pics right now! Oh......and the ride up to the dunkies was not too bad.....walked it up though!:uhuh: Saw some turkeys, seals going through the ditch (bastards). The lovely female rollerbladers were oh, so hot!! Why is it some of them are all perfumed up for a sweaty rollerblade ride???:huh: Bike performed well......doubt I will be doing 14 miles with the waders on though!!!:rotf2: The center bar is a PIA but I could not find it in myself to ride a "step thru frame"......its just not in me!:) My butt hurts a bit.....(Yes I had the seat on!):jump1: Saw parts of the canal I have never seen before which was cool! I did get a few comments about my tassles though.....just jealous I think!:rotf2:

That's because they spun around like little airplane propellers when you peddled....Oh.....You mean the ones on the handle bars....nevermind. :hee:


I got a bike in progress myself...hope to have it done by May. And I'm comfortable enough with my Sexuality to use a Girls Bike. :hihi:

No problem with my sexuality...you try to find a "step thru frame" for someone my size???:biglaugh:

But, I mean butt, don't worry- that tender area will get used to it and the penile numbness will go away. Eventually.:rotf2:

I'd be afraid of what the woman looks like who owns it.....:shocked:

All I can picture is a cross between Rosie O'Donnell and Dolph Lundgren looking you in the eye and saying "I Must Break You" in a heavy East German Accent :eek::lasso:

I would be careful riding too much with the waders on I wore out two pair of cabelas guide waders in the crotch area before I figured out what was going on. Granted I was riding 5-6 miles a day 3-4 times a week but it still sux when the waders start leaking at 1am.

Yellow spandex was invented simply as a pre-heaven entry reward for us good guys.

Dave I need a large frame.....downside of being large! Chick bikes are not big enough for me. Rather deal with a moment of having trouble mounting the bike than being uncomfortable peddaling.
