6.7 miles on my new bike

“Cool bike, Dude!”

I had my first ride on my new 21 speed bike that I purchased for $40. I don’t know much about the bike or about 21 speed bikes because I’ve never had one before. So I rode around trying to figure out how to work the gears. I did cover 6.7 miles which was okay. I started to get the hang of it, but in general it felt like I used more energy on this route with the 21-speed than I did with my one speed. After I got home and showered, I made the brilliant decision to read up on how to actually use the 21-speed bicycle. I learned that I wasn’t doing it very correctly. So, with my new knowledge I will make another effort in a day or two. I hope to make the ride more enjoyable and faster.
