I finally got my new bike from the shop in Santa Monica. It was worth the Saturday morning drive to Santa Monica to get the bike and enjoy the farmers marker on third street promenade. On Saturday afternoon I tried to install wall hangers for Sting (the black and yellow "old" bike) and Kaw'ika (david in Hawaiian- the new bike). The bikes were hung with care for 20 hours before Sting got too heavy and tore the brackets off the wall and fell onto my skateboards. Therefore, Sting is now stored, again, under the kitchen table and Kaw'ika will be the king of my bedroom wall. (King Kaw'ika is my favorite Hawaiian King-thus the name of honor for the new bike).
I rode the bike today for an inaugural ride to the church to input Visiting Teaching statistics. WOW! He is fast and light and a bit intimidating. I put the better tires (no wammies with flat tires!) on Kaw'ika and hope that when I ride on the river road by school tomorrow that all will go well for a fast, enjoyable after work ride.
I am really enjoying my bike experiences!
