Established four things during my inaugural bike ride today:
- I need a more cushy seat to replace the concrete one it came with.
- Panniers are a must unless I enjoy being choked by a strap hanging around my neck.
- Water bottle? Yes, please.
- If I do this to go to work, I’ll likely want a change of clothes.
All-in-all I’m reasonably pleased with my effort. I didn’t do the full trip I wanted to test today due to the dire condition my rear was left in thanks to the existing seat, but I made a round trip journey in the half time it would otherwise take me to walk and that included two breaks to adjust things. Now I just have to wait for the cash to invest in the few needs and in the meantime I can do some short rides to get myself into better shape for the longer trips.
