Thinking about getting a bike (1 Viewer)

So I picked it up tonight. The frame is a little big for me, and the brakes are backwards (right handle does the front). My cousin's boyfriend works at the big bike shop, so I'll se if he can look it over and switch the brakes. As is, I'm going over the handlebars.

A few other things I thought of:

Chamois Butt'r is your friend. I like the kind that goes on like a deodorant stick so it doesn't get on my hands.

Nobody wants to see me riding in spandex shorts, so I wear padded bike underwear with gym shorts on top.

There are lots of bike computer apps out there. I use Urban Biker which has a nice dashboard display and tracks my rides.

I don't know if they do this in all states or not, but in Colorado AAA covers bikes too. If you break down they'll pick you up and take you to a bike shop. Luckily I haven't had to use this yet.

That's only because the bike in the rack is worth more than the car.
