I purchased a bike recently. It's a pretty nice 'hybrid', meant for road and trail biking. The gear shifting is done by rotating the handles, which I thought was cool and easy to use.

This morning I timed how long it would take me to get to work: about 20 minutes. It was sunny and 60 degrees F so I didn't sweat at all even with a sweater and t-shirt. Going there is alot downhill, but coming back is a bit tougher. I took a trail that is right next to my apartment. As long as the weather is ok, I think this will be some good exercise.

Riding on roads is kinda scary, and I just need to get comfortable riding close to cars . I'll definitely be wearing a helmet.
