First ride today!
I've been riding in my 150 ft driveway for a couple of months while I have been doing a bunch of mods to my bike. I just got my permit about 2 weeks ago. About 4pm today, after making a mantel for my living room fireplace I realized it was 60 degrees and since the rain finally let up I decided it was time to head out on my maiden voyage. I told my wife I was going for a ride up and down the road, she said in what and I told her on the bike. She paused for a second then said "be careful." I only went on my neighborhood access road which is about a mile long. I went up and down the road a bunch of times plus I rode in the empty park parking lot so I could practice turns and figure 8's. I had a blast. I hadn't checked my tire pressures recently but I could tell they were not too low, I did notice that the front tire seems to bounce a lot, I'll verify the tire pressure tomorrow and may head out again, depending on how cold it is. How cold is too cold to ride??
