First Ride

I got out on the bicycle this morning and started to learn to ride again. It took five miles to figure out how to shift the gears. The shifters are built into the brake levers, what will they think of next? The tires on the machine are very narrow, if the rider were to swerve off the pavement and onto the soft shoulder there would be an accident. The bike is wobbly and does not like variations in the pavement.
I can tell that with more time spent on the bicycle the more comfortable I will become. I will be out there again tomorrow morning, becoming more familiar
