Free Bike!! but nervous?

[mandym1]

In my area they advertised months ago for people to register for a free bicycle. I thought this is great as it will help me keep fit so I registered.

They have called me today to go collect tomorrow. I will get my free bike, helmet, lights everything I will need to get cycling.. All for FREE!! I have to complete a short safety course when I get there.

This may sound silly but I'm so nervous about gettng on a bike and the wheels going flat and them saying I'm too fat for a bike!!! :cry:

Ooooh thats not fair..lol I've been looking at bikes for the past couple of weeks trying to pluck up the courage.

You are not too fat for a bike...go grab it and enjoy it.

The sense of freedom when whizzing along is fantastic and good for the thighs

Congrats on winning your new bike. I bought myself one a couple of months ago and its one thing you don't forget how to ride it. I must go out on it again it has been in the garage for a few weeks and needs an airing I think. Maybe I will give it a go over the weekend.

don't be silly, you won't be too fat for the bike, but if you do notice the tyres seem a little low, either take it to your local bike shop and ask them to pump the tryes right up, or if you're confident do it yourself, the max psi should be on the side of the tyre, now on ya bike lol!!

Enjoy it, your confidence will soon come back and what an incentive for after your op.

Hi Mandy

Hope it went well, let us know how you are getting on with your shiny new bike! x

 

[mandym1]

I did it, I got a shiney new bike and am very pleased with myself. I did quite a bit of cycling (for me) I was sweating and uncomfortable but really enjoyed ut. My instructer was a really nice guy which helped.

Well now all I have to do is get out and about on my new wheels!! :bliss:
