A Very Christmas Gift
I'm not used to receiving holiday gifts from people, but I have a tradition of giving myself something that I want. Like a treat for keeping up my motivation to do well. Last year, I purchased a new camera and I am having a great time with it. This year, I decided to go for a road bike. This is my first road bike. I have always enjoyed biking, and with the Lake Shore Drive path just across from where I live, I would like to take the opportunity to exercise more and have a good time. I did a lot of research and reading about which road bikes suit beginners. And I settled on the Giant OCR1.
I tested the bike yesterday, after the purchase, on the lake path. I had to go home and didn't want to park my bike in the CTA bus rack. So far, the bike handles well. I just need to get used to it more. But I am happy with the gift.
There's no excuse now for not biking when the opportunity rises.
