Default Re: Riding in the hood.

I have finally, finally I say, made a bike that is perfect for me. The pedals are about two inches off the ground. Easy for me to reach on the top stroke and with enough torque to start the bike without weaving. It gets up to speed in a reasonable amount of time. I rode the bike for about ten miles today. I took it out to the lake which was one of my goals.

The only problem was the kickstand came off. Now that is a pain since I have no idea where along that ten miles it might be. I am as thrilled as a girl after her first prom. Too bad we both lost something. Oh well.
