My new bike is officially, finally home

And so am I, because regardless of the weather, I’m not going to focus on work when I’ve got a new toy begging for a ride during what’s turning out to be a pretty day.

But before I can do that, I have to install the SPD pedals from my mountain bike, since the SPD-SL shoes to go with new bike pedals were back-ordered.

Thing is, I don’t have the tool to replace the pedals, so I’ve gotta hit the bike store first. So I need to hurry while the rain stays away. So I need to finish my sandwich and this sentence.


The girl at the bike shop was telling me they didn’t have the 15mm wrench I needed but another store did or I could just bring it in and they could do it… when I realized that I did in fact have what I needed. Back home I am. But the guy who put the pedals on the mtn bike made it too tight, and I can’t remove them. So I’m thowing the bike on the car roof to take it to the shop so they can do it. This is not how I planned on this afternoon going, but thats because this is more funny.


The girl at the bike store has a bigger wrench than I did… she got the pedals off for me. Because I am weak. I mean because she had more leverage.

Just got back from “testing” out the bike. Having spent the past year on a mountain bike, it was certainly different.

Having a road bike makes no difference in speed. Really.

(I love this bike!)
