First day on the bike

Posted on By admin

I biked in to work this morning. Took me about 20-25 minutes, and it wasn’t too bad. The road is fairly busy but the people aren’t too aggressive on it and there are bike lanes for most of it. Still, in the coming days/weeks, I’m going to look for a quieter track. There are some really fun downward hills on the way in, which means that there will be some really nasty upward climbs on the way home. Not looking forward to that one :)

Update: it took me 19 minutes to get home. I might have used a bit more assistance, but I was going 45 kph for a while, when the motor kicks off at 25.

I bought a bike, part 2!

I cancelled my previous bike order because the company kept jerking me around with back-order stock promises (it’ll be here in 2 weeks !), so I went to a smaller shop in Lausanne. After a really good conversation, I bought a KTM ebike that is in stock (in Vevey) and I’ll get it on Tuesday!! I paid a bit more than I had originally planned, but it’s a good bike and I’m going to kick myself in the ass to get my money’s worth :-)

Good news bad news

Good news: we had our 4-week personal training “evaluation” and we found that we could do more stuff, at higher impact, while feeling a lot better about it (i.e. not feeling like we’re about to puke on the trainer)

Bad news: the evil, evil woman is going to use that against us and pump it up a notch. Bitch.

(As a side note, we really like Liz, she’s a great trainer. We just like to complain about her).
