This is my blog

If you don't know already, I like to bicycle. I have many bicycles. My favorite is our Santana Noventa. That's my husband Michael and I riding it at the Tour de Cure for diabetes.


All the cool people in Newport Beach have beach cruisers. I used to have a gorgeous blue Nirve Sunflower, but it was stolen. I replaced it with a beautiful Island Flower. Mine has a hand-painted yellow basket, that everyone admires.

After many months of talking about how I wanted to commute to work, I finally took my husband Michael's new Schwinn. This was fun, except the short13.38 mile ride killed my butt, shoulders, neck, and hips. Knowing it would take me hours to get there on my beach cruiser, and that I'd look silly alone on a tandem, I started shopping for a bike of my very own.

So, last weekend, after much shopping and consideration, I bought my very adorable Felt SR 91. It's black and yellow, as pictured. And BIG. I have very long legs... a 34 inch inseam, actually. This bike is a 56; way too big for anyone else to ride. But that's OK; I love it anyway.

Which brings me to the purpose of my blog. Since I now have the goal of riding to work 3 times a week, I figured I should have some kind of public record to keep me from shirking. So here goes.

Of course, the blog won't just be bicycling, but that's what it is today.
