Safer Bike Riding

When Trish and I first started bike riding we had a couple of bikes which we bought for $100 each from K-Mart. They did us well for quite a few years.

We now ride almost daily so the $100 K-Mart jobs don't do the job well enough. Trish further upgraded her bike yesterday after I had taken he previous one for a test ride. The brakes hardly worked, the gears did not always change properly and it just didn't feel safe or sturdy. Not the sorts of things you want when crossing between the traffic on a busy road.

Trish's new bike is certainly safer and is not a full mountain bike making it easier for her to ride. First ride on the new bike is due tomorrow!
