I did it!!! I rode the bike with click in shoes and pedals!

Got my knee and elbow pads and decided to try again yesterday. Had one mildly spectacular fall just out of the driveway with my continued obsession to make sure that I can stop--and I can't when I'm going that slow. Should have put on the wristguards that came with the other pads but no serious injuries. So I started pedaling and managed to get the second foot to clip in and rode around for about thirty minutes, all the while saying to myself, "you have to click out, you have to click out. " Didn't have to stop the whole time until I got back into my driveway. Found I can't do three things at once. Slowed down, clicked out, but forgot to brake with the hand brakes so I was a little wobbly on the stop but did NOT go down again for which I was thankful!!! I do recommend these knee and elbow pads which were very reasonable at Academy Sports. I remember getting skinned up learning to ride my bike as a child and remember my own kids getting skinned up so these are quite helpful, especially for spazmos like me. And, today, I finally remembered to ask about possibly having a trainer once a week at the Courthouse. Had to fill out a big pile of papers but I think maybe I'll get in two weight sessions a week if I have a babysitter for one of them!!!! And, hopefully, she'll teach me some new things to do as I've been doing the same machines now going on the third year. Aren't we glad it's going to be a little warmer the rest of the week????? Although, I hope to remember this cold weather fondly in June, July, and August when I'm whining about how hot I am!
