Well I'm getting excited again! It's getting cold here in Kentucky but I'm dieing to get back into the saddle again. You know I was thinking yesterday as I was cleaning up my old J.C Higgins steel bike about what a treasure these old bikes really are. You see I also have a Motobecane Immortal Pro it's not old oh no it's carbon fiber light as a feather and a true blast to ride. I got the bike from Bikes Direct and absolutely LOVE IT. But......what if I have been on this bike when I got hit instead of my 50 pound (at least that's what it feels like) steal 1950's beast? I don't think I would have survived nearly as well.
I got a little lower back pain still but it gets better every day! I also played my cards right and got a check for $3200 dollars from the insurance company. No I did not sue I simply settled and negotiated fairly well my settlement all by myself. So my first 300 miles commuting via bike saved me lots in gas not to mention wear and tear on a car also helped me get into shape as well as netted me $3200 not bad fellow cyclist not bad at all.
I'm working to get back into the grove slowly right now I am working on adding a light to my seat post to light up my entire body. I also bought a reflective vest from Walmart to add to the safety factor. Once I have finished some smaller posts I will be back to riding again hopefully very soon.
Peace to All
Pedal Strong
And if/when you get hit get back on and Ride like Hell
