So, remember when I told you I can't ride a bike? Last Friday, Jesse and I went to the bike shop and picked out bikes. I got a Trek Navigator 2.0 and Jesse's is a Trek 7200. I'll skip the part about me being frustrated with Jesse and discouraged about my dumb idea to try to learn to ride a bike and jump right to the good stuff:
Today, I coasted around by myself for a while. I was worried about not having Jesse around if I needed him but it turned out to be really good idea. I didn't have to worry about feeling like he was pressuring me or making fun of my ineptitude. And I got my first bike-related injury. Its the worst bike-related injury I have ever had.
After my very serious injury, I continued to coast around the parking lot and down a few inclines over and over again until I was feeling pretty comfortable about my balancing ability. Then I crashed my bike into a parked car; but by the time Jesse got home, I was riding my bike around the parking lot! I'm really wobbly and can't turn but I'm making progress! More updates to come....
