My New Bike:)

After much going back and forth on my birthday present from my parents, I finally decided I wanted a new bike! And I love it! It is cute and perfect for what I want to get into. Because my knees are screwed up from such an intense sport (yes, gymnastics) it hurts to run anymore, plus I don’t really enjoy running anyways. Biking is so much easier on the knees, and my ankles, and my shins…pretty much everything. So, I got a new Schwinn Searcher – Hybrid bike and absolutely love the feel of it. I have been on a few bike rides here and there and am getting the hang of all the gears. I have to get my endurance back up since I haven’t done much since my ankle sprain 3 weeks ago, but this week has been a better dedicated week to working out how I can. Speaking of the ankle, I am starting physical therapy to speed the healing process and to help strengthen it. But I am excited about my awaited adventures on my new bike and just have to get used to riding in traffic. Hopefully I will learn (with the help of an expert friend, Brandon). It can be a scary thing, cars are so much bigger and much more powerful. But I will figure it out:)bday-2228bday-2230 bday-2201tehehebday-2224  bday-2210

I got a new helmet too and it is perfectly girly:)
