A moose on a bike

If you had been driving along man-o-war around 2:00 to 2:30 today you would have seen a Moose on a bicycle.  I finally got my bike today.  First time I have been on a bike since I was 17 and got hit by a car.

I bought a Globe City 7.

That’s what it looks like (click on the image to zoom, if you are so inclined).  I added a water bottle holder (silver) and a water bottle (blue).  I also added a wireless speed-o-meter that keeps track of the time of day, speed, average speed, maximum speed, individual trip distance, etc.

I rode the bike home from the shop.  It was 2.24 miles.  I averaged 7.9 mph, maxed out at 19.1.  I am NOT 17 any more! 

I think I need to get the handles raised about 3-4 inches.
