4. Nope, can't feel a thing
Totally numb. Apparently there's a chair underneath where I'm sitting but I wouldn't swear to it.

9. Cheap thing I bought from a drug store - literally
Heavy steel frame but...we had a bicycle clinic at the office and the guy adjusted my bike and said I had a good, if inexpensive derailer, the 2nd best type of brakes, everything was lined up nicely and the bearing were in good shape.

I've ridden better bikes but I'm happy enough with it.

Whaddya want for $100 CAN.

10. Ah yes.
Nice to see I'm not the only cyclist in these parts. Just got into the sport. :)

I put in a nice 27 miles on my Trek 1200 last weekend... haven't decided if I want to do it again this weekend or not. We'll see. :)

11. I'm thinking about a major ride tomorrow
A friend of mine is really into cycling and I may go out on the highway with him.

Just hope I can keep up. He's got a $1000 bicycle.
