I rode on the back for 1 summer and then decided why not....I can do that. I sat on my bike every Friday on my lunch break for about 4 weeks. Then June 19, 2008 I made that sweet red bike MINE! With one month of training...my husband and I took our bikes on our honeymoon down the Oregon Coast....it was FN awesome! I guess I inspired my sis (post right above me....HI SIS!), cause now she is riding more than me....well, she gets warmer weather longer in Kentucky than I get in Montana (not fair)! There is nothing like the freedom of riding alone...it really does something to a women's self esteem, at least it did to mine. It made me stronger, braver and I felt something on my own bike that no man, no paycheck, no society could ever give me. I found me on the back of my bike.
