my new bike!

For my birthday I got a road bike! I'm pretty indecisive when it comes to big purchases, but the Fuji Roubaix was on sale at Performance, plus through the powers of twitter I got an extra 10% off. I tried the bike out, remembered how awesome road bikes are, and it was a pretty easy choice after that. I haven't had a chance to ride it very much; I got a flat tire the first time I took it out, and since then it's been rainy and cold.

I forgot how different being on a road bike is compared to my commuter bike. The road bike is so much lighter, my center of balance is completely different, and I got the small clip pedals (my commuter has campus pedals) so I have to be more efficient at clipping in as well. I am hoping for sunny weather this weekend so I can start getting used to being on a road bike again!
